Off the line, the 2020 911 Carrera S Cabriolet hits 100 km/h in 3.64 s versus 5.83 s for the Panamera. At this point, the 2020 911 Carrera S Cabriolet leads by 2.20 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 2020 911 Carrera S Cabriolet is doing 161 km/h against 130 km/h for the Panamera. The gap is 1.65 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 2020 911 Carrera S Cabriolet crosses the line in 11.58 s versus 14.14 s. The 2.56 s gap represents roughly 110 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 2020 911 Carrera S Cabriolet continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 223 km/h versus 181 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 2020 911 Carrera S Cabriolet finishes in 21.03 s versus 25.74 s, with a 4.71 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 2020 911 Carrera S Cabriolet is capped at 306 km/h, the Panamera at 259 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 (3.57 kg/hp vs 5.79 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.21 seconds. The 2.20 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
