The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the 911 Carrera GTS hits 100 km/h in 3.65 s versus 4.48 s for the 2013 Panamera GTS. At this point, the 911 Carrera GTS leads by 0.83 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS is doing 166 km/h against 147 km/h for the 2013 Panamera GTS. The gap is 0.76 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera GTS crosses the line in 11.41 s versus 12.69 s. The 1.28 s gap represents roughly 63 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 230 km/h versus 205 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS finishes in 20.49 s versus 22.94 s, with a 2.45 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera GTS is capped at 311 km/h, the 2013 Panamera GTS at 288 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 (3.02 kg/hp vs 4.49 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.84 seconds. The 0.83 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
