Off the line, the Panamera S hits 100 km/h in 5.16 s versus 5.19 s for the Panamera S. The 0.04 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Panamera S is doing 140 km/h against 140 km/h for the Panamera S. The gap is 0.02 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Panamera S crosses the line in 13.31 s versus 13.35 s. The 0.04 s gap represents roughly 2 m of track
Past 400 metres, nothing changes. Same ceiling, same acceleration, same trajectory - both rivals run in formation to the line. The 0.08 s gap at 1,000 metres confirms what the specs already suggested: on track, they’re interchangeable. The real contest happens elsewhere - range, comfort, charging network reliability.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Panamera S and the Panamera S are governed to 283 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.43 kg/hp vs 4.43 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.78 seconds. The 0.04 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Panamera S and Panamera S are neck and neck (5,16 s vs 5,19 s, no significant gap).
Panamera S goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,16 seconds (calibrated simulation).
Panamera S: 406 hp, ratio 4,43 kg/hp. Panamera S: 406 hp, ratio 4,43 kg/hp.
Panamera S: 277 km/h. Panamera S: 276 km/h.
