Off the line, the 911 Turbo hits 100 km/h in 3.04 s versus 3.85 s for the Panamera Turbo S. At this point, the 911 Turbo leads by 0.81 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Turbo is doing 171 km/h against 151 km/h for the Panamera Turbo S. The gap is 0.75 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Turbo crosses the line in 10.79 s versus 12.05 s. The 1.26 s gap represents roughly 64 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Turbo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 238 km/h versus 208 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Turbo finishes in 19.64 s versus 22.19 s, with a 2.55 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Panamera Turbo S is capped at 306 km/h, the 911 Turbo at 319 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 2.92 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 0.81 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Turbo 991.2 wins (3,04 s vs 3,85 s).
