Off the line, the SQ7 SUV hits 100 km/h in 4.04 s versus 4.46 s for the Cayenne Turbo. At this point, the SQ7 SUV leads by 0.42 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the SQ7 SUV is doing 154 km/h against 149 km/h for the Cayenne Turbo. The gap is 0.34 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the SQ7 SUV crosses the line in 12.11 s versus 12.59 s. The 0.49 s gap represents roughly 25 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the SQ7 SUV continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 214 km/h versus 206 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the SQ7 SUV finishes in 21.94 s versus 22.79 s, with a 0.85 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (278 km/h), the Cayenne Turbo never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the SQ7 SUV is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the Cayenne Turbo at 278 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 (4.34 kg/hp vs 4.34 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.61 seconds. The 0.42 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
