Off the line, the 911 Carrera 4 GTS hits 100 km/h in 3.97 s versus 6.47 s for the Macan. At this point, the 911 Carrera 4 GTS leads by 2.51 s and sits roughly 21 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 GTS is doing 154 km/h against 127 km/h for the Macan. The gap is 1.82 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 14.70 s. The 2.76 s gap represents roughly 115 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 175 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 GTS finishes in 21.59 s versus 26.72 s, with a 5.12 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 Macan at 232 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 7.32 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.13 seconds. The 2.51 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 6,47 s).
