Off the line, the Cayenne Turbo hits 100 km/h in 3.87 s versus 3.96 s for the Cayenne Turbo S. The 0.09 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne Turbo is doing 151 km/h against 152 km/h for the Cayenne Turbo S. The gap is 0.09 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne Turbo crosses the line in 12.06 s versus 12.11 s. The 0.05 s gap represents roughly 3 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, nothing changes. Same ceiling, same acceleration, same trajectory - both rivals run in formation to the line. The 0.01 s gap at 1,000 metres confirms what the specs already suggested: on track, they’re interchangeable. The real contest happens elsewhere - range, comfort, charging network reliability.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Cayenne Turbo S and the Cayenne Turbo are governed to 283 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
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 Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.06 seconds. The 0.09 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.
