Off the line, the Cayenne GTS hits 100 km/h in 4.92 s versus 5.56 s for the Cayenne GTS. At this point, the Cayenne GTS leads by 0.65 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne GTS is doing 141 km/h against 137 km/h for the Cayenne GTS. The gap is 0.46 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne GTS crosses the line in 13.11 s versus 13.70 s. The 0.59 s gap represents roughly 28 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 195 km/h versus 191 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne GTS finishes in 23.91 s versus 24.70 s, with a 0.80 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (262 vs 261 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Cayenne GTS and the Cayenne GTS are governed to 262 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.80 kg/hp vs 4.96 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.33 seconds. The 0.65 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
