Off the line, the Cayenne (Manual) hits 100 km/h in 7.70 s versus 11.36 s for the 216d Gran Tourer. At this point, the Cayenne (Manual) leads by 3.66 s and sits roughly 30 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne (Manual) is doing 119 km/h against 102 km/h for the 216d Gran Tourer. The gap is 1.69 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne (Manual) crosses the line in 15.52 s versus 18.06 s. The 2.53 s gap represents roughly 86 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne (Manual) continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 165 km/h versus 141 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne (Manual) finishes in 28.28 s versus 32.93 s, with a 4.65 s lead.
The Cayenne (Manual) features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the 216d Gran Tourer’s FWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne (Manual) is capped at 227 km/h, the 216d Gran Tourer at 192 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 (7.35 kg/hp vs 12.76 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 19.19 seconds. The 3.66 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
