Off the line, the 911 Turbo hits 100 km/h in 3.04 s versus 4.45 s for the Panamera GTS. At this point, the 911 Turbo leads by 1.41 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Turbo is doing 171 km/h against 147 km/h for the Panamera GTS. The gap is 1.23 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Turbo crosses the line in 10.79 s versus 12.63 s. The 1.84 s gap represents roughly 90 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 238 km/h versus 206 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Turbo finishes in 19.64 s versus 22.85 s, with a 3.21 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Turbo is capped at 319 km/h, the Panamera GTS at 286 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 (2.92 kg/hp vs 4.47 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.75 seconds. The 1.41 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Turbo 991.2 wins (3,04 s vs 4,45 s).
911 Turbo 991.2 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,04 seconds (calibrated simulation).
