Under the bonnet

Manufacturer technical specifications. The power-to-weight ratio is the key physical factor in a drag race.

The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the 911 Targa 4 GTS hits 100 km/h in 4.27 s versus 4.83 s for the Bmw M440i. At this point, the 911 Targa 4 GTS leads by 0.56 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the 911 Targa 4 GTS is doing 155 km/h against 146 km/h for the Bmw M440i. The gap is 0.51 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Targa 4 GTS crosses the line in 12.12 s versus 12.93 s. The 0.81 s gap represents roughly 40 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the 911 Targa 4 GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 221 km/h versus 205 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Targa 4 GTS finishes in 21.61 s versus 23.15 s, with a 1.54 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Targa 4 GTS is capped at 302 km/h, the Bmw M440i 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 (3.59 kg/hp vs 4.53 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.06 seconds. The 0.56 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
