Off the line, the 911 Carrera Cab hits 100 km/h in 4.52 s versus 10.41 s for the Bmw 216i Active Tourer. At this point, the 911 Carrera Cab leads by 5.90 s and sits roughly 29 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera Cab is doing 148 km/h against 105 km/h for the Bmw 216i Active Tourer. The gap is 3.09 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera Cab crosses the line in 12.62 s versus 17.50 s. The 4.89 s gap represents roughly 164 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera Cab continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 208 km/h versus 146 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera Cab finishes in 22.72 s versus 31.91 s, with a 9.19 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera Cab is capped at 289 km/h, the Bmw 216i Active Tourer at 206 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 (4.29 kg/hp vs 12.05 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 17.46 seconds. The 5.90 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.
