Off the line, the 911 Carrera 4S hits 100 km/h in 3.83 s versus 4.03 s for the Panamera Turbo. At this point, the 911 Carrera 4S leads by 0.20 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera 4S is doing 161 km/h against 156 km/h for the Panamera Turbo. The gap is 0.17 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera 4S crosses the line in 11.74 s versus 12.02 s. The 0.29 s gap represents roughly 15 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera 4S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 223 km/h versus 216 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera 4S finishes in 21.16 s versus 21.74 s, with a 0.58 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (298 vs 304 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Panamera Turbo and the 911 Carrera 4S are governed to 303 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 (3.58 kg/hp vs 3.50 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.85 seconds. The 0.20 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Carrera 4S 991.2 wins (3,83 s vs 4,03 s).
Panamera Turbo goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,03 seconds (calibrated simulation).
