Off the line, the 911 Targa 4S hits 100 km/h in 4.05 s versus 7.69 s for the 220i Convertible. At this point, the 911 Targa 4S leads by 3.65 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Targa 4S is doing 158 km/h against 115 km/h for the 220i Convertible. The gap is 2.10 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Targa 4S crosses the line in 11.99 s versus 15.61 s. The 3.61 s gap represents roughly 134 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Targa 4S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 219 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Targa 4S finishes in 21.58 s versus 28.82 s, with a 7.24 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Targa 4S is capped at 303 km/h, the 220i Convertible at 226 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 (3.71 kg/hp vs 8.37 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.89 seconds. The 3.65 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Targa 4S 991.2 wins (4,04 s vs 7,69 s).
