Off the line, the 911 Targa 4S hits 100 km/h in 4.05 s versus 4.53 s for the 911 Targa 4S. At this point, the 911 Targa 4S leads by 0.49 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Targa 4S is doing 158 km/h against 150 km/h for the 911 Targa 4S. The gap is 0.35 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 12.49 s. The 0.49 s gap represents roughly 26 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Targa 4S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 219 km/h versus 213 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Targa 4S finishes in 21.58 s versus 22.38 s, with a 0.80 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (303 vs 295 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Targa 4S is capped at 303 km/h, the 911 Targa 4S at 295 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 3.83 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.68 seconds. The 0.49 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 4,53 s).
911 Targa 4S 991.2 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,04 seconds (calibrated simulation).
