Panamera vs DS9 E-Tense 250: chronicle of a drag race at 250 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Panamera hits 100 km/h in 5.83 s versus 8.36 s for the DS9 E-Tense 250. At this point, the Panamera leads by 2.53 s and sits roughly 31 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Panamera is doing 130 km/h against 121 km/h for the DS9 E-Tense 250. The gap is 1.73 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Panamera crosses the line in 14.14 s versus 16.22 s. The 2.07 s gap represents roughly 84 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Panamera continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 181 km/h versus 170 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Panamera finishes in 25.74 s versus 28.57 s, with a 2.82 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 259 km/h, the Panamera never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor — it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.79 kg/hp vs 7.51 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.32 seconds. The 2.53 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche Panamera has a clear edge over the DS DS9 E-Tense 250 to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
