Off the line, the Cayenne Turbo S hits 100 km/h in 3.96 s versus 4.16 s for the 911 Carrera 4. At this point, the Cayenne Turbo S leads by 0.20 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S is doing 152 km/h against 155 km/h for the 911 Carrera 4. The gap is 0.14 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne Turbo S crosses the line in 12.11 s versus 12.19 s. The 0.07 s gap represents roughly 4 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. Past 400 metres, both rivals hit the same electronic ceiling at 283 km/h. Neither can claw back ground through top speed - the outcome hinges on the acceleration curve between 100 and 283 km/h.
At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 finishes in 22.00 s versus 22.13 s. The 0.13 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne Turbo S is capped at 283 km/h, the 911 Carrera 4 at 291 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 3.95 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.10 seconds. The 0.20 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Cayenne Turbo S wins (3,96 s vs 4,16 s).
Cayenne Turbo S goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,96 seconds (calibrated simulation).
