Off the line, the 911 Carrera 4 hits 100 km/h in 4.16 s versus 5.77 s for the Panamera 4. At this point, the 911 Carrera 4 leads by 1.61 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 is doing 155 km/h against 128 km/h for the Panamera 4. The gap is 1.08 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 14.11 s. The 1.92 s gap represents roughly 82 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 177 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 finishes in 22.00 s versus 25.94 s, with a 3.94 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera 4 is capped at 291 km/h, the Panamera 4 at 256 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 5.99 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.39 seconds. The 1.61 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
