Off the line, the 911 Turbo S hits 100 km/h in 2.53 s versus 3.83 s for the S8. At this point, the 911 Turbo S leads by 1.30 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Turbo S is doing 185 km/h against 157 km/h for the S8. The gap is 1.23 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Turbo S crosses the line in 10.00 s versus 11.81 s. The 1.80 s gap represents roughly 95 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 257 km/h versus 222 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Turbo S finishes in 18.17 s versus 21.26 s, with a 3.10 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Turbo S is capped at 322 (i.e. 200 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the S8 at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) 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 (2.43 kg/hp vs 3.89 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.62 seconds. The 1.30 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
