Off the line, the 911 Carrera GTS hits 100 km/h in 3.65 s versus 4.03 s for the Panamera Turbo. At this point, the 911 Carrera GTS leads by 0.38 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS is doing 166 km/h against 156 km/h for the Panamera Turbo. The gap is 0.35 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera GTS crosses the line in 11.41 s versus 12.02 s. The 0.61 s gap represents roughly 32 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 230 km/h versus 216 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS finishes in 20.49 s versus 21.74 s, with a 1.25 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (298 vs 311 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Panamera Turbo is capped at 303 km/h, the 911 Carrera GTS at 311 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 3.02 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 0.38 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Carrera GTS 991.2 wins (3,65 s vs 4,03 s).
Panamera Turbo goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,03 seconds (calibrated simulation).
