Off the line, the 911 R hits 100 km/h in 3.78 s versus 3.92 s for the Panamera Turbo. The 0.14 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the 911 R is doing 166 km/h against 153 km/h for the Panamera Turbo. The gap is 0.25 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 R crosses the line in 11.38 s versus 12.01 s. The 0.64 s gap represents roughly 33 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 R continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 239 km/h versus 213 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 R finishes in 20.19 s versus 21.90 s, with a 1.71 s lead.
Electronically capped at 303 km/h, the Panamera Turbo 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 (3.58 kg/hp vs 2.74 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.84 seconds. The 0.14 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 R 991.2 wins (3,78 s vs 3,92 s).
