Off the line, the 911 Carrera (Manual) hits 100 km/h in 4.77 s versus 4.81 s for the X4 M40d. The 0.04 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera (Manual) is doing 148 km/h against 139 km/h for the X4 M40d. The gap is 0.00 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera (Manual) crosses the line in 12.81 s versus 13.13 s. The 0.32 s gap represents roughly 15 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera (Manual) continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 209 km/h versus 193 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera (Manual) finishes in 22.88 s versus 24.04 s, with a 1.15 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera (Manual) is capped at 289 km/h, the X4 M40d at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) 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 (4.13 kg/hp vs 5.94 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.54 seconds. The 0.04 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Carrera (Manual) 991.1 and X4 M40d G02 are neck and neck (4,77 s vs 4,81 s, no significant gap).
911 Carrera (Manual) 991.1 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,77 seconds (calibrated simulation).
