Off the line, the Cayenne Turbo hits 100 km/h in 4.45 s versus 4.64 s for the Cayenne S. The 0.18 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne Turbo is doing 149 km/h against 145 km/h for the Cayenne S. The gap is 0.09 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne Turbo crosses the line in 12.59 s versus 12.79 s. The 0.19 s gap represents roughly 10 m of track — barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne Turbo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 206 km/h versus 202 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne Turbo finishes in 22.81 s versus 23.26 s, with a 0.45 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (277 vs 264 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne Turbo is capped at 278 km/h, the Cayenne S at 264 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 (4.17 kg/hp vs 4.59 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.94 seconds. The 0.18 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.
