The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the 911 Carrera S Cab hits 100 km/h in 4.34 s versus 4.46 s for the Cayenne Turbo. At this point, the 911 Carrera S Cab leads by 0.12 s and sits roughly 1 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera S Cab is doing 152 km/h against 149 km/h for the Cayenne Turbo. The gap is 0.12 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera S Cab crosses the line in 12.34 s versus 12.59 s. The 0.25 s gap represents roughly 13 m of track - two to three car lengths.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera S Cab continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 214 km/h versus 206 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera S Cab finishes in 22.11 s versus 22.79 s, with a 0.68 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne Turbo is capped at 278 km/h, the 911 Carrera S Cab at 302 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 3.87 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.61 seconds. The 0.12 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
