Off the line, the Cayenne GTS hits 100 km/h in 4.37 s versus 5.54 s for the Bmw X6 xDrive40d. At this point, the Cayenne GTS leads by 1.17 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne GTS is doing 142 km/h against 131 km/h for the Bmw X6 xDrive40d. The gap is 0.85 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne GTS crosses the line in 12.66 s versus 13.88 s. The 1.22 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 197 km/h versus 181 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne GTS finishes in 23.37 s versus 25.52 s, with a 2.15 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne GTS is capped at 270 km/h, the Bmw X6 xDrive40d at 245 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 (4.88 kg/hp vs 6.51 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.85 seconds. The 1.17 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
