Off the line, the 911 Carrera 4 hits 100 km/h in 4.16 s versus 7.55 s for the Cayenne Platinum Edition. At this point, the 911 Carrera 4 leads by 3.39 s and sits roughly 20 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 is doing 155 km/h against 119 km/h for the Cayenne Platinum Edition. The gap is 2.12 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 15.50 s. The 3.32 s gap represents roughly 129 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 166 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 finishes in 22.00 s versus 28.19 s, with a 6.19 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera 4 is capped at 291 km/h, the Cayenne Platinum Edition at 229 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 6.68 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.90 seconds. The 3.39 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Carrera 4 991.2 wins (4,16 s vs 7,55 s).
911 Carrera 4 991.2 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,16 seconds (calibrated simulation).
