Off the line, the 911 Turbo hits 100 km/h in 3.35 s versus 3.55 s for the Panamera Turbo. At this point, the 911 Turbo leads by 0.20 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Turbo is doing 168 km/h against 163 km/h for the Panamera Turbo. The gap is 0.21 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Turbo crosses the line in 11.13 s versus 11.45 s. The 0.32 s gap represents roughly 18 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Turbo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 232 km/h versus 228 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Turbo finishes in 20.22 s versus 20.66 s, with a 0.45 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (308 vs 309 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Panamera Turbo is capped at 308 km/h, the 911 Turbo at 312 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 (3.63 kg/hp vs 3.10 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.19 seconds. The 0.20 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
