Off the line, the Cayenne Turbo S hits 100 km/h in 3.96 s versus 4.15 s for the Cayenne Turbo. At this point, the Cayenne Turbo S leads by 0.19 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S is doing 152 km/h against 153 km/h for the Cayenne Turbo. The gap is 0.15 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 12.23 s. The 0.12 s gap represents roughly 6 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The Cayenne Turbo maxes out at 278 km/h while the Cayenne Turbo S keeps accelerating towards 283 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.09 s.
At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S finishes in 22.13 s versus 22.17 s, with just 0.03 s to spare. The Cayenne Turbo fails to fully close the launch gap.
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 4.20 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.17 seconds. The 0.19 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
