Off the line, the A110 GT 300 hits 100 km/h in 3.92 s versus 5.16 s for the Panamera S. At this point, the A110 GT 300 leads by 1.24 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A110 GT 300 is doing 157 km/h against 140 km/h for the Panamera S. The gap is 0.93 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the A110 GT 300 crosses the line in 11.96 s versus 13.31 s. The 1.35 s gap represents roughly 65 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the A110 GT 300 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 215 km/h versus 197 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 GT 300 finishes in 21.76 s versus 23.98 s, with a 2.22 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (277 vs 272 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 283 km/h, the Panamera S 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.43 kg/hp vs 3.65 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.71 seconds. The 1.24 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
