Off the line, the Panamera Turbo hits 100 km/h in 3.55 s versus 3.96 s for the Cayenne Turbo S. At this point, the Panamera Turbo leads by 0.42 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Panamera Turbo is doing 163 km/h against 152 km/h for the Cayenne Turbo S. The gap is 0.37 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Panamera Turbo crosses the line in 11.45 s versus 12.11 s. The 0.67 s gap represents roughly 34 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Panamera Turbo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 228 km/h versus 211 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Panamera Turbo finishes in 20.66 s versus 22.13 s, with a 1.47 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne Turbo S is capped at 283 km/h, the Panamera Turbo at 308 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 3.63 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.06 seconds. The 0.42 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Panamera Turbo wins (3,54 s vs 3,96 s).
Cayenne Turbo S goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,96 seconds (calibrated simulation).
