Off the line, the 2020 911 Carrera S hits 100 km/h in 3.46 s versus 5.19 s for the Panamera S. At this point, the 2020 911 Carrera S leads by 1.73 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 2020 911 Carrera S is doing 163 km/h against 140 km/h for the Panamera S. The gap is 1.38 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 2020 911 Carrera S crosses the line in 11.38 s versus 13.35 s. The 1.98 s gap represents roughly 93 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 2020 911 Carrera S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 226 km/h versus 196 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 2020 911 Carrera S finishes in 20.70 s versus 24.06 s, with a 3.36 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 2020 911 Carrera S is capped at 307 km/h, the Panamera S at 282 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.42 kg/hp vs 4.43 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.78 seconds. The 1.73 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 2020 911 Carrera S 992 wins (3,46 s vs 5,19 s).
2020 911 Carrera S 992 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,46 seconds (calibrated simulation).
