Off the line, the 911 Carrera 4 hits 100 km/h in 4.16 s versus 4.76 s for the Macan Turbo. At this point, the 911 Carrera 4 leads by 0.59 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 is doing 155 km/h against 142 km/h for the Macan Turbo. The gap is 0.45 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera 4 crosses the line in 12.19 s versus 12.99 s. The 0.80 s gap represents roughly 39 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 215 km/h versus 195 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 finishes in 22.00 s versus 23.72 s, with a 1.72 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Macan Turbo is capped at 264 km/h, the 911 Carrera 4 at 291 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 (4.81 kg/hp vs 3.95 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.18 seconds. The 0.59 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Carrera 4 991.2 wins (4,16 s vs 4,75 s).
