Off the line, the Cayenne Turbo S hits 100 km/h in 4.36 s versus 4.78 s for the Panamera 4S. At this point, the Cayenne Turbo S leads by 0.42 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S is doing 152 km/h against 142 km/h for the Panamera 4S. The gap is 0.29 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 12.98 s. The 0.56 s gap represents roughly 27 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 211 km/h versus 198 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S finishes in 22.41 s versus 23.57 s, with a 1.16 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (279 vs 275 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Cayenne Turbo S and the Panamera 4S are governed to 282 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.81 kg/hp vs 4.23 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.26 seconds. The 0.42 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Cayenne Turbo S 958.1 wins (4,36 s vs 4,78 s).
Cayenne Turbo S 958.1 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,36 seconds (calibrated simulation).
