Off the line, the Cayenne S Hybrid hits 100 km/h in 6.14 s versus 11.64 s for the 216d Gran Tourer. At this point, the Cayenne S Hybrid leads by 5.50 s and sits roughly 36 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne S Hybrid is doing 128 km/h against 101 km/h for the 216d Gran Tourer. The gap is 2.57 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne S Hybrid crosses the line in 14.30 s versus 18.19 s. The 3.89 s gap represents roughly 128 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne S Hybrid continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 177 km/h versus 140 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne S Hybrid finishes in 26.15 s versus 33.18 s, with a 7.03 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne S Hybrid is capped at 242 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 (5.82 kg/hp vs 12.80 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 19.69 seconds. The 5.50 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Cayenne S Hybrid wins (6,14 s vs 11,64 s).
Cayenne S Hybrid goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,14 seconds (calibrated simulation).
