Off the line, the 911 Carrera 4S hits 100 km/h in 4.44 s versus 7.04 s for the Bmw 420d. At this point, the 911 Carrera 4S leads by 2.60 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera 4S is doing 153 km/h against 119 km/h for the Bmw 420d. The gap is 1.53 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 15.10 s. The 2.78 s gap represents roughly 109 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 166 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera 4S finishes in 22.01 s versus 27.77 s, with a 5.76 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera 4S is capped at 298 km/h, the Bmw 420d at 240 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 8.45 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.60 seconds. The 2.60 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
