Panamera GTS vs Bmw 745Le: chronicle of a drag race at 289 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Panamera GTS hits 100 km/h in 3.93 s versus 5.36 s for the Bmw 745Le. At this point, the Panamera GTS leads by 1.44 s and sits roughly 18 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Panamera GTS is doing 151 km/h against 141 km/h for the Bmw 745Le. The gap is 1.09 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Panamera GTS crosses the line in 12.12 s versus 13.47 s. The 1.35 s gap represents roughly 65 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Panamera GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 210 km/h versus 200 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Panamera GTS finishes in 22.14 s versus 23.97 s, with a 1.83 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
The Panamera GTS features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Bmw 745Le’s RWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Panamera GTS is capped at 291 km/h, the Bmw 745Le at 250 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 (4.49 kg/hp vs 5.19 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.84 seconds. The 1.44 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche Panamera GTS has a clear edge over the Bmw 745Le to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
