EX40 Twin Motor AWD vs Cayenne Coupe: chronicle of a drag race at 243 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the EX40 Twin Motor AWD hits 100 km/h in 4.93 s versus 5.77 s for the Cayenne Coupe. The 0.84 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the EX40 Twin Motor AWD is doing 144 km/h against 131 km/h for the Cayenne Coupe. The gap is 0.39 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the EX40 Twin Motor AWD crosses the line in 13.14 s versus 14.00 s. The 0.86 s gap represents roughly 38 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The EX40 Twin Motor AWD maxes out at 180 km/h while the Cayenne Coupe keeps accelerating towards 243 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap is down to 1.05 s from 0.86 s at 400 metres.
At 1,000 metres, the EX40 Twin Motor AWD finishes in 25.14 s versus 25.64 s, with just 0.50 s to spare. The Cayenne Coupe fails to fully close the launch gap.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the EX40 Twin Motor AWD is capped at 180 km/h, the Cayenne Coupe at 243 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 (5.17 kg/hp vs 6.22 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.00 seconds. The 0.84 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Volvo EX40 Twin Motor AWD has a clear edge over the Porsche Cayenne Coupe to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
