Off the line, the 911 Carrera GTS hits 100 km/h in 3.87 s versus 5.16 s for the Panamera S. At this point, the 911 Carrera GTS leads by 1.29 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS is doing 160 km/h against 140 km/h for the Panamera S. The gap is 1.06 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera GTS crosses the line in 11.71 s versus 13.31 s. The 1.61 s gap represents roughly 76 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 224 km/h versus 197 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS finishes in 21.06 s versus 23.98 s, with a 2.92 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera GTS is capped at 306 km/h, the Panamera S at 283 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 (2.97 kg/hp vs 4.43 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.71 seconds. The 1.29 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Carrera GTS 991.1 wins (3,87 s vs 5,16 s).
911 Carrera GTS 991.1 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,87 seconds (calibrated simulation).
