Off the line, the Cayenne GTS Coupe hits 100 km/h in 4.35 s versus 7.43 s for the Cayenne Diesel. At this point, the Cayenne GTS Coupe leads by 3.08 s and sits roughly 22 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne GTS Coupe is doing 142 km/h against 117 km/h for the Cayenne Diesel. The gap is 1.81 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne GTS Coupe crosses the line in 12.64 s versus 15.43 s. The 2.79 s gap represents roughly 107 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne GTS Coupe continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 197 km/h versus 161 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne GTS Coupe finishes in 23.34 s versus 28.50 s, with a 5.16 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne GTS Coupe is capped at 270 km/h, the Cayenne Diesel at 217 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 8.95 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.32 seconds. The 3.08 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Cayenne GTS Coupe wins (4,35 s vs 7,43 s).
Cayenne GTS Coupe goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,35 seconds (calibrated simulation).
