The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Terramar VZ hits 100 km/h in 5.39 s versus 6.25 s for the Cayenne S Hybrid. Despite the faster sprint time, the Cayenne S Hybrid is 3 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Terramar VZ is doing 138 km/h against 125 km/h for the Cayenne S Hybrid. The gap is 0.24 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the Terramar VZ crosses the line in 13.70 s versus 14.44 s. The 0.74 s gap represents roughly 31 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Terramar VZ continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 191 km/h versus 171 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Terramar VZ finishes in 24.72 s versus 26.79 s, with a 2.07 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Electronically capped at 242 km/h, the Cayenne S Hybrid never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.

With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.82 kg/hp vs 5.57 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.03 seconds. The 0.86 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
