Off the line, the Cayenne Turbo S hits 100 km/h in 3.96 s versus 4.61 s for the Cayenne S Coupe. At this point, the Cayenne Turbo S leads by 0.65 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S is doing 152 km/h against 144 km/h for the Cayenne S Coupe. The gap is 0.44 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 12.80 s. The 0.68 s gap represents roughly 33 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 200 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S finishes in 22.13 s versus 23.34 s, with a 1.21 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne Turbo S is capped at 283 km/h, the Cayenne S Coupe at 262 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 5.10 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.01 seconds. The 0.65 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
