Off the line, the Cayenne Turbo Coupe hits 100 km/h in 3.84 s versus 5.73 s for the Cayenne S. At this point, the Cayenne Turbo Coupe leads by 1.89 s and sits roughly 18 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne Turbo Coupe is doing 150 km/h against 133 km/h for the Cayenne S. The gap is 1.34 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne Turbo Coupe crosses the line in 12.07 s versus 13.92 s. The 1.85 s gap represents roughly 82 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne Turbo Coupe continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 206 km/h versus 186 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne Turbo Coupe finishes in 22.22 s versus 25.21 s, with a 2.98 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne Turbo Coupe is capped at 285 km/h, the Cayenne S at 258 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 (4.38 kg/hp vs 4.92 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.75 seconds. The 1.89 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
