Off the line, the 911 Turbo S Coupe hits 100 km/h in 3.22 s versus 4.53 s for the 911 Targa 4S. At this point, the 911 Turbo S Coupe leads by 1.31 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Turbo S Coupe is doing 172 km/h against 150 km/h for the 911 Targa 4S. The gap is 1.09 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Turbo S Coupe crosses the line in 10.90 s versus 12.49 s. The 1.58 s gap represents roughly 80 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Turbo S Coupe continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 238 km/h versus 213 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Turbo S Coupe finishes in 19.75 s versus 22.38 s, with a 2.63 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Turbo S Coupe is capped at 314 km/h, the 911 Targa 4S at 295 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 (2.95 kg/hp vs 3.83 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.68 seconds. The 1.31 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Turbo S Coupe 997.2 wins (3,22 s vs 4,53 s).
