Off the line, the 911 Carrera 4 GTS hits 100 km/h in 3.97 s versus 4.49 s for the Macan GTS. At this point, the 911 Carrera 4 GTS leads by 0.53 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 GTS is doing 154 km/h against 147 km/h for the Macan GTS. The gap is 0.45 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera 4 GTS crosses the line in 11.93 s versus 12.61 s. The 0.67 s gap represents roughly 34 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 206 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 GTS finishes in 21.59 s versus 22.79 s, with a 1.20 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 GTS at 272 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 5.44 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.65 seconds. The 0.53 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 4,49 s).
911 Carrera 4 GTS 991.1 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,96 seconds (calibrated simulation).
