Off the line, the Cayenne (8-speed Tiptronic S) hits 100 km/h in 7.55 s versus 11.64 s for the 216d Gran Tourer. At this point, the Cayenne (8-speed Tiptronic S) leads by 4.09 s and sits roughly 28 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne (8-speed Tiptronic S) is doing 119 km/h against 101 km/h for the 216d Gran Tourer. The gap is 1.72 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne (8-speed Tiptronic S) crosses the line in 15.50 s versus 18.19 s. The 2.69 s gap represents roughly 90 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne (8-speed Tiptronic S) continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 166 km/h versus 140 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne (8-speed Tiptronic S) finishes in 28.16 s versus 33.18 s, with a 5.02 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne (8-speed Tiptronic S) is capped at 230 km/h, the 216d Gran Tourer at 192 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 (6.68 kg/hp vs 12.80 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 19.69 seconds. The 4.09 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
