911 Carrera S vs Bmw M240i Convertible: chronicle of a drag race at 303 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the 911 Carrera S hits 100 km/h in 4.44 s versus 4.56 s for the Bmw M240i Convertible. At this point, the 911 Carrera S leads by 0.12 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera S is doing 154 km/h against 148 km/h for the Bmw M240i Convertible. The gap is 0.21 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera S crosses the line in 12.30 s versus 12.72 s. The 0.42 s gap represents roughly 21 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 216 km/h versus 206 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera S finishes in 21.94 s versus 22.97 s, with a 1.03 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera S is capped at 303 km/h, the Bmw M240i Convertible at 250 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 (3.44 kg/hp vs 4.81 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.72 seconds. The 0.12 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche 911 Carrera S is slightly faster than the Bmw M240i Convertible to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
