Off the line, the Giulia Veloce hits 100 km/h in 5.26 s versus 5.28 s for the Panamera. The 0.02 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Giulia Veloce is doing 135 km/h against 136 km/h for the Panamera. The gap is 0.06 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Giulia Veloce crosses the line in 13.56 s versus 13.57 s. The 0.01 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Giulia Veloce maxes out at 240 km/h while the Panamera keeps accelerating towards 264 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.05 s.
Around 453 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the Panamera overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 24 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the Panamera finishes in 24.66 s versus 24.89 s. The 0.23 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Panamera is capped at 264 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 (5.42 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 8.22 seconds. The 0.02 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.
