Off the line, the 911 Carrera 4 GTS hits 100 km/h in 3.97 s versus 7.16 s for the Cayenne V6. At this point, the 911 Carrera 4 GTS leads by 3.20 s and sits roughly 18 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 GTS is doing 154 km/h against 122 km/h for the Cayenne V6. The gap is 1.99 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera 4 GTS crosses the line in 11.93 s versus 15.12 s. The 3.19 s gap represents roughly 125 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 218 km/h versus 169 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 GTS finishes in 21.59 s versus 27.65 s, with a 6.06 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera 4 GTS is capped at 304 km/h, the Cayenne V6 at 230 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 (3.06 kg/hp vs 6.56 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.40 seconds. The 3.20 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Carrera 4 GTS 991.1 wins (3,96 s vs 7,16 s).
911 Carrera 4 GTS 991.1 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,96 seconds (calibrated simulation).
