Off the line, the Giulia Veloce hits 100 km/h in 5.26 s versus 5.28 s for the Macan S. The 0.03 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Giulia Veloce is doing 135 km/h against 138 km/h for the Macan S. The gap is 0.04 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Macan S crosses the line in 13.52 s versus 13.56 s. The 0.04 s gap represents roughly 2 m of track
Past 400 metres, the Macan S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 190 km/h versus 186 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Macan S finishes in 24.59 s versus 24.89 s, with a 0.29 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (251 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) vs 240 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Macan S is capped at 251 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Giulia Veloce at 240 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 (5.49 kg/hp vs 5.68 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.11 seconds. The 0.03 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.
