Off the line, the 911 Turbo S hits 100 km/h in 2.53 s versus 4.69 s for the M4 Convertible. At this point, the 911 Turbo S leads by 2.16 s and sits roughly 17 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Turbo S is doing 185 km/h against 151 km/h for the M4 Convertible. The gap is 1.90 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Turbo S crosses the line in 10.00 s versus 12.64 s. The 2.64 s gap represents roughly 131 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 213 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Turbo S finishes in 18.17 s versus 22.51 s, with a 4.35 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 M4 Convertible 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 4.15 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.66 seconds. The 2.16 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Turbo S 992 wins (2,53 s vs 4,69 s).
911 Turbo S 992 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 2,53 seconds (calibrated simulation).
