Off the line, the 911 Turbo hits 100 km/h in 3.35 s versus 4.44 s for the 911 Carrera 4S. At this point, the 911 Turbo leads by 1.10 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Turbo is doing 168 km/h against 153 km/h for the 911 Carrera 4S. The gap is 0.88 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Turbo crosses the line in 11.13 s versus 12.33 s. The 1.19 s gap represents roughly 62 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Turbo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 232 km/h versus 217 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Turbo finishes in 20.22 s versus 22.01 s, with a 1.80 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (309 vs 298 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Turbo is capped at 312 km/h, the 911 Carrera 4S at 298 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 (3.10 kg/hp vs 3.56 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.45 seconds. The 1.10 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Turbo 991.1 wins (3,35 s vs 4,44 s).
