Off the line, the Cayenne GTS hits 100 km/h in 4.37 s versus 4.49 s for the Macan GTS. At this point, the Cayenne GTS leads by 0.12 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne GTS is doing 142 km/h against 147 km/h for the Macan GTS. The gap is 0.14 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Macan GTS crosses the line in 12.61 s versus 12.66 s. The 0.05 s gap represents roughly 3 m of track — barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Macan GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 206 km/h versus 197 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Macan GTS finishes in 22.79 s versus 23.37 s, with a 0.58 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (266 vs 272 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Cayenne GTS and the Macan GTS are governed to 270 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 (4.88 kg/hp vs 5.44 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.93 seconds. The 0.12 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
