Off the line, the Cayenne Turbo S hits 100 km/h in 3.96 s versus 4.45 s for the Cayenne Turbo. At this point, the Cayenne Turbo S leads by 0.49 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S is doing 152 km/h against 149 km/h for the Cayenne Turbo. The gap is 0.39 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 12.59 s. The 0.48 s gap represents roughly 24 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 205 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S finishes in 22.13 s versus 22.82 s, with a 0.68 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (283 vs 276 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne Turbo S is capped at 283 km/h, the Cayenne Turbo at 278 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 4.17 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.61 seconds. The 0.49 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
