Off the line, the 911 Carrera 4S hits 100 km/h in 4.44 s versus 4.83 s for the Bmw M440i. At this point, the 911 Carrera 4S leads by 0.38 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera 4S is doing 153 km/h against 146 km/h for the Bmw M440i. The gap is 0.37 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera 4S crosses the line in 12.33 s versus 12.93 s. The 0.60 s gap represents roughly 30 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 205 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera 4S finishes in 22.01 s versus 23.15 s, with a 1.14 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 M440i at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) 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 4.53 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.06 seconds. The 0.38 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.
