Off the line, the 911 Carrera 4 hits 100 km/h in 4.16 s versus 5.86 s for the 230i Convertible. At this point, the 911 Carrera 4 leads by 1.70 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 is doing 155 km/h against 129 km/h for the 230i Convertible. The gap is 1.18 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera 4 crosses the line in 12.19 s versus 14.21 s. The 2.02 s gap represents roughly 86 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 215 km/h versus 178 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 finishes in 22.00 s versus 26.01 s, with a 4.00 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera 4 is capped at 291 km/h, the 230i Convertible at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) 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 (3.95 kg/hp vs 6.25 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.32 seconds. The 1.70 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
