Off the line, the Macan Turbo with Performance Package hits 100 km/h in 4.33 s versus 4.36 s for the Cayenne Turbo S. The 0.03 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Macan Turbo with Performance Package is doing 148 km/h against 152 km/h for the Cayenne Turbo S. The gap is 0.03 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 12.52 s. The 0.10 s gap represents roughly 5 m of track - barely a car length.
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 22.81 s, with a 0.39 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (279 vs 272 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne Turbo S is capped at 282 km/h, the Macan Turbo with Performance Package at 272 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 4.38 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.58 seconds. The 0.03 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.
Over 0–100 km/h, Cayenne Turbo S 958.1 and Macan Turbo with Performance Package 95B.1 are neck and neck (4,33 s vs 4,36 s, no significant gap).
