Off the line, the Cayenne Turbo S hits 100 km/h in 4.36 s versus 4.94 s for the Bmw X4 M40d. The 0.59 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S is doing 152 km/h against 137 km/h for the Bmw X4 M40d. The gap is 0.40 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne Turbo S crosses the line in 12.42 s versus 13.29 s. The 0.87 s gap represents roughly 40 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 211 km/h versus 190 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S finishes in 22.41 s versus 24.38 s, with a 1.97 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne Turbo S is capped at 282 km/h, the Bmw X4 M40d at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) 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 (3.81 kg/hp vs 5.81 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.77 seconds. The 0.59 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
