Off the line, the Cayenne Turbo hits 100 km/h in 4.15 s versus 4.48 s for the 2013 Panamera GTS. At this point, the Cayenne Turbo leads by 0.32 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne Turbo is doing 153 km/h against 147 km/h for the 2013 Panamera GTS. The gap is 0.27 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne Turbo crosses the line in 12.23 s versus 12.69 s. The 0.45 s gap represents roughly 23 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne Turbo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 212 km/h versus 205 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne Turbo finishes in 22.17 s versus 22.94 s, with a 0.78 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (278 vs 280 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne Turbo is capped at 278 km/h, the 2013 Panamera GTS at 288 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 (4.20 kg/hp vs 4.49 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.84 seconds. The 0.32 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Cayenne Turbo 958.2 wins (4,15 s vs 4,47 s).
Cayenne Turbo 958.2 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,15 seconds (calibrated simulation).
