Off the line, the 911 Turbo S hits 100 km/h in 2.94 s versus 4.03 s for the Panamera Turbo. At this point, the 911 Turbo S leads by 1.09 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Turbo S is doing 176 km/h against 156 km/h for the Panamera Turbo. The gap is 0.99 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Turbo S crosses the line in 10.55 s versus 12.02 s. The 1.47 s gap represents roughly 77 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Turbo S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 245 km/h versus 216 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Turbo S finishes in 19.14 s versus 21.74 s, with a 2.60 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Turbo S is capped at 330 (i.e. 205 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Panamera Turbo at 303 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 (2.72 kg/hp vs 3.58 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.85 seconds. The 1.09 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Turbo S 991.2 wins (2,94 s vs 4,03 s).
911 Turbo S 991.2 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 2,94 seconds (calibrated simulation).
