Off the line, the Cayenne Turbo S hits 100 km/h in 3.96 s versus 6.71 s for the Explorer EcoBoost 300. At this point, the Cayenne Turbo S leads by 2.75 s and sits roughly 24 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S is doing 152 km/h against 127 km/h for the Explorer EcoBoost 300. The gap is 1.95 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne Turbo S crosses the line in 12.11 s versus 14.92 s. The 2.81 s gap represents roughly 116 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 173 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S finishes in 22.13 s versus 27.09 s, with a 4.96 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne Turbo S is capped at 283 km/h, the Explorer EcoBoost 300 at 220 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 (3.92 kg/hp vs 6.70 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.35 seconds. The 2.75 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Cayenne Turbo S 958.2 wins (3,96 s vs 6,71 s).
