Off the line, the 911 GT3 RS hits 100 km/h in 3.85 s versus 4.03 s for the Panamera Turbo. At this point, the 911 GT3 RS leads by 0.17 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 GT3 RS is doing 164 km/h against 156 km/h for the Panamera Turbo. The gap is 0.23 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 GT3 RS crosses the line in 11.57 s versus 12.02 s. The 0.45 s gap represents roughly 24 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 911 GT3 RS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 232 km/h versus 216 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 GT3 RS finishes in 20.63 s versus 21.74 s, with a 1.11 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 5.85 seconds. The 0.17 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
