Off the line, the 911 Carrera S (PDK) hits 100 km/h in 4.14 s versus 4.45 s for the Cayenne Turbo. At this point, the 911 Carrera S (PDK) leads by 0.31 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera S (PDK) is doing 156 km/h against 149 km/h for the Cayenne Turbo. The gap is 0.31 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera S (PDK) crosses the line in 12.09 s versus 12.59 s. The 0.51 s gap represents roughly 26 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera S (PDK) continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 217 km/h versus 205 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera S (PDK) finishes in 21.76 s versus 22.82 s, with a 1.05 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne Turbo is capped at 278 km/h, the 911 Carrera S (PDK) at 300 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 (4.17 kg/hp vs 3.73 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.61 seconds. The 0.31 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Carrera S (PDK) 991.1 wins (4,14 s vs 4,45 s).
Cayenne Turbo goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,45 seconds (calibrated simulation).
