Off the line, the Panamera Turbo hits 100 km/h in 3.92 s versus 4.78 s for the Panamera 4S. At this point, the Panamera Turbo leads by 0.86 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Panamera Turbo is doing 153 km/h against 142 km/h for the Panamera 4S. The gap is 0.67 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Panamera Turbo crosses the line in 12.01 s versus 12.98 s. The 0.96 s gap represents roughly 47 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Panamera Turbo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 213 km/h versus 198 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Panamera Turbo finishes in 21.90 s versus 23.57 s, with a 1.67 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Panamera Turbo is capped at 303 km/h, the Panamera 4S at 283 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 (3.58 kg/hp vs 4.23 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.26 seconds. The 0.86 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
