CONFIDENCE 94%The Panamera Turbo reaches 100 km/h first (3.85 s vs 4.03 s), but the Bmw 750i is ahead at every metre of the race. Explanation: the Bmw 750i accelerates harder at low speed and builds a distance gap before either car hits 100 km/h.
Why this result?
The Porsche Panamera Turbo S is faster at 0-100 km/h, but the Bmw 750i xDrive compensates at high speed thanks to higher peak power or top speed. At 400 m, Bmw 750i xDrive leads by 0.13 s.

Panamera Turbo S vs Bmw 750i xDrive: chronicle of a drag race at 280 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Panamera Turbo S hits 100 km/h in 3.85 s versus 4.03 s for the Bmw 750i xDrive. At this point, the Panamera Turbo S leads by 0.18 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Panamera Turbo S is doing 151 km/h against 158 km/h for the Bmw 750i xDrive. The gap is 0.09 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 750i xDrive crosses the line in 11.92 s versus 12.05 s. The 0.13 s gap represents roughly 7 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 750i xDrive continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 223 km/h versus 208 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 750i xDrive finishes in 21.35 s versus 22.19 s, with a 0.84 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (280 km/h), the Panamera Turbo S never recovers its launch deficit.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Panamera Turbo S is capped at 306 km/h, the Bmw 750i xDrive at 250 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 (3.17 kg/hp vs 3.72 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.95 seconds. The 0.18 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche Panamera Turbo S is slightly faster than the Bmw 750i xDrive to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
