The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Cayenne Turbo S hits 100 km/h in 4.36 s versus 4.45 s for the Cayenne Turbo. The 0.09 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S is doing 152 km/h against 149 km/h for the Cayenne Turbo. The gap is 0.07 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne Turbo S crosses the line in 12.42 s versus 12.59 s. The 0.18 s gap represents roughly 9 m of track — barely a car length.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 211 km/h versus 205 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S finishes in 22.41 s versus 22.82 s, with a 0.40 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (279 vs 276 km/h), preventing any comeback.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne Turbo S is capped at 282 km/h, the Cayenne Turbo at 278 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 4.17 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.61 seconds. The 0.09 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
