Off the line, the 911 Carrera T hits 100 km/h in 4.47 s versus 4.72 s for the Panamera 4S. At this point, the 911 Carrera T leads by 0.25 s and sits roughly 1 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera T is doing 153 km/h against 144 km/h for the Panamera 4S. The gap is 0.20 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera T crosses the line in 12.47 s versus 12.88 s. The 0.41 s gap represents roughly 21 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera T continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 216 km/h versus 202 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera T finishes in 22.25 s versus 23.24 s, with a 0.99 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (290 vs 293 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Panamera 4S is capped at 303 km/h, the 911 Carrera T at 293 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 4.13 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.12 seconds. The 0.25 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Carrera T 991.2 wins (4,47 s vs 4,72 s).
