Off the line, the Cayenne GTS hits 100 km/h in 4.92 s versus 6.22 s for the Cayenne S Hybrid. At this point, the Cayenne GTS leads by 1.30 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne GTS is doing 141 km/h against 127 km/h for the Cayenne S Hybrid. The gap is 0.74 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne GTS crosses the line in 13.11 s versus 14.37 s. The 1.26 s gap represents roughly 54 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 195 km/h versus 175 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne GTS finishes in 23.91 s versus 26.38 s, with a 2.48 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne GTS is capped at 262 km/h, the Cayenne S Hybrid at 242 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 (4.80 kg/hp vs 5.89 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.71 seconds. The 1.30 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Cayenne GTS 958.2 wins (4,92 s vs 6,22 s).
