Off the line, the 911 Carrera GTS hits 100 km/h in 3.65 s versus 4.05 s for the 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet. At this point, the 911 Carrera GTS leads by 0.40 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS is doing 166 km/h against 158 km/h for the 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet. The gap is 0.36 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 11.98 s. The 0.56 s gap represents roughly 31 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 230 km/h versus 220 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS finishes in 20.49 s versus 21.53 s, with a 1.03 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (311 vs 303 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera GTS is capped at 311 km/h, the 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet at 303 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 3.66 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.85 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.
