Off the line, the 911 Carrera Cab hits 100 km/h in 4.52 s versus 4.92 s for the Cayenne GTS. At this point, the 911 Carrera Cab leads by 0.40 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera Cab is doing 148 km/h against 141 km/h for the Cayenne GTS. The gap is 0.26 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 13.11 s. The 0.49 s gap represents roughly 24 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera Cab continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 208 km/h versus 195 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera Cab finishes in 22.72 s versus 23.91 s, with a 1.18 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne GTS is capped at 262 km/h, the 911 Carrera Cab at 289 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 (4.80 kg/hp vs 4.29 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.37 seconds. The 0.40 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.
