Off the line, the Cayenne S Coupe hits 100 km/h in 4.76 s versus 7.80 s for the X1 sDrive20d. At this point, the Cayenne S Coupe leads by 3.04 s and sits roughly 27 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne S Coupe is doing 143 km/h against 119 km/h for the X1 sDrive20d. The gap is 1.97 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne S Coupe crosses the line in 12.94 s versus 15.77 s. The 2.83 s gap represents roughly 111 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne S Coupe continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 198 km/h versus 166 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne S Coupe finishes in 23.58 s versus 28.46 s, with a 4.88 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne S Coupe is capped at 262 km/h, the X1 sDrive20d at 222 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 (5.10 kg/hp vs 8.11 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.14 seconds. The 3.04 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Cayenne S Coupe E3.1 wins (4,76 s vs 7,80 s).
