| Measure | RS 3 Sportback | Panamera 971 | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total time | 7h16 | 7h16 | Less than a minute apart |

| Cost of energy used | 398.62 € | 132.35 € | 266.27 € · Panamera 971 |
Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 3 stops totalling 15 min for the RS 3 Sportback versus 3 stops totalling 15 min for the Panamera 971.
The official WLTP figures (9,4 L/100km for RS 3 Sportback and 9,8 L/100km for Panamera 971) are measured on a mixed cycle averaging ~46 km/h. At a steady 130 km/h, aerodynamic drag weighs much more heavily - it grows with the square of speed. Caralogy calculates a motorway consumption specific to each vehicle based on its aerodynamic profile (SCx), weight and power curve - not a uniform correction factor. For this trip, the simulation yields 25,3 L/100km (RS 3 Sportback) and 8,4 L/100km (Panamera 971). Full methodology: see the dedicated button above the summary.

On Paris → Marseille (775 km at 130 km/h), the RS 3 Sportback arrives in 7h16 with 3 stops.
WLTP consumption does not reflect motorway reality. Aerodynamic drag grows with the square of speed, so real consumption is 15 to 25 % higher than WLTP combined. Caralogy calculates a highway consumption specific to each vehicle based on its aerodynamic profile (SCx), weight and power curve.
Total time = driving time + charging time. Driving time is calculated at an average speed of 130 km/h on the motorway (adjustable). Charging time is calculated based on the real power curve of each vehicle, respecting the optimal 10 → 80 % range and the maximum power accepted by the chargers on the route.
No. The displayed cost covers only the energy consumed during the trip: kWh × energy rate, with a mix of home charging and DC fast chargers. Battery wear is a long-term ownership cost, not a trip cost.
Electric: 398,62 € (RS 3 Sportback) and 132,35 € (Panamera 971). An equivalent petrol SUV (~8 L/100 km) would cost about 115 € in motorway fuel. Electric costs less in energy but adds charging stops.
