Off the line, the 911 Carrera 4 hits 100 km/h in 4.90 s versus 7.66 s for the Bmw 220d Convertible. At this point, the 911 Carrera 4 leads by 2.77 s and sits roughly 23 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 is doing 147 km/h against 120 km/h for the Bmw 220d Convertible. The gap is 1.83 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera 4 crosses the line in 12.85 s versus 15.71 s. The 2.86 s gap represents roughly 113 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 209 km/h versus 167 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 finishes in 22.96 s versus 28.34 s, with a 5.38 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera 4 is capped at 285 km/h, the Bmw 220d Convertible at 225 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 (4.03 kg/hp vs 8.34 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.00 seconds. The 2.77 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Carrera 4 991.1 wins (4,89 s vs 7,66 s).
