Off the line, the 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet hits 100 km/h in 4.05 s versus 4.05 s for the 911 Targa 4S. The 0.00 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet is doing 158 km/h against 158 km/h for the 911 Targa 4S. The gap is 0.00 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet crosses the line in 11.98 s versus 11.99 s. The 0.02 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Past 400 metres, nothing changes. Same ceiling, same acceleration, same trajectory - both rivals run in formation to the line. The 0.05 s gap at 1,000 metres confirms what the specs already suggested: on track, they’re interchangeable. The real contest happens elsewhere - range, comfort, charging network reliability.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet and the 911 Targa 4S are governed to 303 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.66 kg/hp vs 3.71 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.87 seconds. The 0.00 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.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet 991.2 and 911 Targa 4S 991.2 are neck and neck (4,04 s vs 4,04 s, no significant gap).
911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet 991.2 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,04 seconds (calibrated simulation).
