Off the line, the 911 Carrera 4S hits 100 km/h in 4.44 s versus 5.77 s for the Panamera 4. At this point, the 911 Carrera 4S leads by 1.33 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera 4S is doing 153 km/h against 128 km/h for the Panamera 4. The gap is 0.92 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 14.11 s. The 1.78 s gap represents roughly 76 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 177 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera 4S finishes in 22.01 s versus 25.94 s, with a 3.93 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera 4S is capped at 298 km/h, the Panamera 4 at 256 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 5.99 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.39 seconds. The 1.33 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 5,77 s).
911 Carrera 4S 991.1 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,44 seconds (calibrated simulation).
