Off the line, the Panamera hits 100 km/h in 5.28 s versus 5.98 s for the 7 E-Tense 4x4 300. Despite lacking instant torque, 335 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Panamera leads by 0.71 s and sits roughly 1 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Panamera is doing 136 km/h against 127 km/h for the 7 E-Tense 4x4 300. The gap is 0.30 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Panamera crosses the line in 13.57 s versus 14.27 s. The 0.70 s gap represents roughly 30 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Panamera continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 190 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Panamera finishes in 24.66 s versus 26.41 s, with a 1.75 s lead.
Electronically capped at 264 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.63 seconds. The 0.71 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Panamera wins (5,28 s vs 5,98 s).
Panamera goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,28 seconds (calibrated simulation).
