Off the line, the 911 Carrera T PDK hits 100 km/h in 4.05 s versus 4.72 s for the Panamera 4S. At this point, the 911 Carrera T PDK leads by 0.67 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera T PDK is doing 157 km/h against 144 km/h for the Panamera 4S. The gap is 0.55 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera T PDK crosses the line in 11.99 s versus 12.88 s. The 0.89 s gap represents roughly 44 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera T PDK continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 219 km/h versus 202 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera T PDK finishes in 21.58 s versus 23.24 s, with a 1.65 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (290 vs 290 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 PDK at 290 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 4.19 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.12 seconds. The 0.67 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Carrera T PDK 991.2 wins (4,05 s vs 4,72 s).
