The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Cayenne Turbo S hits 100 km/h in 3.96 s versus 6.22 s for the Cayenne S Hybrid. At this point, the Cayenne Turbo S leads by 2.26 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S is doing 152 km/h against 127 km/h for the Cayenne S Hybrid. The gap is 1.42 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 14.37 s. The 2.25 s gap represents roughly 95 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 211 km/h versus 175 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S finishes in 22.13 s versus 26.38 s, with a 4.25 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne Turbo S is capped at 283 km/h, the Cayenne S Hybrid at 242 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 5.89 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.71 seconds. The 2.26 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
