Off the line, the 911 Carrera 4S hits 100 km/h in 4.44 s versus 7.04 s for the 220i Gran Coupe. At this point, the 911 Carrera 4S leads by 2.60 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera 4S is doing 153 km/h against 122 km/h for the 220i Gran Coupe. The gap is 1.67 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera 4S crosses the line in 12.33 s versus 15.11 s. The 2.79 s gap represents roughly 112 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera 4S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 217 km/h versus 171 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera 4S finishes in 22.01 s versus 27.42 s, with a 5.41 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera 4S is capped at 298 km/h, the 220i Gran Coupe at 238 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 (3.56 kg/hp vs 8.03 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.19 seconds. The 2.60 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Carrera 4S 991.1 wins (4,44 s vs 7,04 s).
911 Carrera 4S 991.1 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,44 seconds (calibrated simulation).
