Off the line, the 911 Carrera 4 hits 100 km/h in 4.16 s versus 4.35 s for the Cayenne GTS Coupe. Despite the faster sprint time, the Cayenne GTS Coupe is 6 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 is doing 155 km/h against 142 km/h for the Cayenne GTS Coupe. The gap is 0.09 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera 4 crosses the line in 12.19 s versus 12.64 s. The 0.45 s gap represents roughly 22 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 215 km/h versus 197 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 finishes in 22.00 s versus 23.34 s, with a 1.34 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne GTS Coupe is capped at 270 km/h, the 911 Carrera 4 at 291 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 (4.86 kg/hp vs 3.95 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.90 seconds. The 0.19 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Carrera 4 991.2 wins (4,16 s vs 4,35 s).
Cayenne GTS Coupe goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,35 seconds (calibrated simulation).
