Off the line, the 911 R hits 100 km/h in 3.78 s versus 4.67 s for the Panamera 4S. At this point, the 911 R leads by 0.89 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 R is doing 166 km/h against 143 km/h for the Panamera 4S. The gap is 0.84 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 R crosses the line in 11.38 s versus 12.87 s. The 1.50 s gap represents roughly 72 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 R continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 239 km/h versus 199 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 R finishes in 20.19 s versus 23.39 s, with a 3.20 s lead.
Electronically capped at 282 km/h, the Panamera 4S never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (2.74 kg/hp vs 4.23 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.12 seconds. The 0.89 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 R 991.2 wins (3,78 s vs 4,67 s).
911 R 991.2 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,78 seconds (calibrated simulation).
