Off the line, the Panamera 4S hits 100 km/h in 4.78 s versus 5.63 s for the F-TYPE P300. At this point, the Panamera 4S leads by 0.85 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Panamera 4S is doing 142 km/h against 140 km/h for the F-TYPE P300. The gap is 0.64 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Panamera 4S crosses the line in 12.98 s versus 13.69 s. The 0.71 s gap represents roughly 34 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Panamera 4S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 198 km/h versus 197 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Panamera 4S finishes in 23.57 s versus 24.35 s, with a 0.78 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Panamera 4S is capped at 283 km/h, the F-TYPE P300 at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) 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 (4.23 kg/hp vs 5.32 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.14 seconds. The 0.85 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
