Off the line, the Cayenne Turbo hits 100 km/h in 4.46 s versus 4.75 s for the Cayman S Manual. At this point, the Cayenne Turbo leads by 0.29 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne Turbo is doing 149 km/h against 147 km/h for the Cayman S Manual. The gap is 0.15 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne Turbo crosses the line in 12.59 s versus 12.77 s. The 0.18 s gap represents roughly 9 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne Turbo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 206 km/h versus 207 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne Turbo finishes in 22.79 s versus 22.99 s, with a 0.20 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (278 vs 270 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 278 km/h, the Cayenne Turbo 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 (4.34 kg/hp vs 4.17 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.04 seconds. The 0.29 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Cayenne Turbo wins (4,46 s vs 4,75 s).
Cayenne Turbo goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,46 seconds (calibrated simulation).
