2024 Porsche 911 Turbo S vs 2025 Rimac Nevera R: Straight-Line Showdown

DragGap comparison data

The table below summarises the key modelled figures from DragGap's simulation. Each value is an estimated output from a consistent simulation model, not an instrumented measurement.

| Metric | 2024 Porsche 911 Turbo S | 2025 Rimac Nevera R | |---|---:|---:| | Output | 715 kW / 959 hp | 1550 kW / 2107 hp | | Mass | 900 kg | 2275 kg | | Drivetrain | All-Wheel Drive | All Wheel Drive | | 0-60 mph | 2.81 s | 1.96 s | | 0-100 km/h | 2.91 s | 2.03 s | | 1/4 mile | 9.43 s | 8.39 s | | 1 km | 15.68 s | 15.51 s | | Top speed | 383.0 km/h | 324.4 km/h |

Two very different ways to be brutally quick

These are two extremes wearing different engineering philosophies. The 2024 Porsche 911 Turbo S makes 715 kW (959 hp) from a combustion powertrain and weighs just 900 kg, with all-wheel drive to help it put that output down. It is a masterclass in extracting pace from a relatively light, familiar sports-car recipe.

The 2025 Rimac Nevera R is the opposite bookend: a battery-electric hypercar producing 1550 kW (2107 hp) from 2275 kg of mass, also driven through all four wheels. It more than doubles the Porsche's power output, even though it tips the scales far heavier.

Straight-line pace is dominated by power-to-weight and traction. The Rimac carries roughly three times the Porsche's output but around 2.5 times the mass, and both run all-wheel drive, so the simulation rewards the electric car's raw thrust.

Straight-line pace: the simulated race

In DragGap's modelled run, the 2025 Rimac Nevera R takes the win. Its estimated 0-100 km/h of about 2.03 seconds comfortably beats the Porsche's 2.91 seconds, and that early advantage carries through the standing kilometre, where the Rimac posts roughly 15.51 seconds to the Porsche's 15.68 seconds.

The gap at the finish line is small in time but clear in distance: the Rimac crosses roughly 0.18 seconds ahead, which works out to about 14 metres of separation. A fraction of a second and a car length or two decide the contest.

The Porsche still manages an estimated 9.43-second quarter-mile against the Rimac's 8.39 seconds, showing just how far apart the two cars are even when both are devastatingly quick. All of these figures are modelled projections, not real-world measurements.

Off the line: electric torque versus combustion fury

Launch behaviour is where the two approaches differ most. The Rimac Nevera R's electric motors deliver their torque instantly, with all-wheel drive letting the car deploy that force from a standstill with minimal fuss. That is why its modelled 0-60 mph and 0-100 km/h times are so much shorter.

The Porsche 911 Turbo S is no slouch off the line, and its all-wheel drive gives it genuine launch capability, but it has to build revs and manage torque delivery through a combustion drivetrain. In the simulation it simply cannot match the electric car's instantaneous response in the opening metres.

A real-world launch would add variables such as tyre temperature, surface grip and driver reaction that a straight-line model cannot fully capture, so conditions on the day would shape the exact outcome.

Top speed: the Porsche's counterattack

While the Rimac wins the standing-start contest, the Porsche 911 Turbo S fights back at the very top of the range. Its estimated top speed of 383.0 km/h exceeds the Rimac Nevera R's 324.4 km/h, a reminder that aero drag and gearing, rather than raw output alone, decide what happens deep into high-speed running.

The Rimac's enormous power is partly offset by its 2275 kg mass and the aerodynamic demands of a hypercar body, so the extra top-end pace belongs to the lighter combustion car. For a pure standing-start sprint, though, the electric car's advantage is decisive.

Which one should you choose?

If your priority is the most brutal launch and the quickest standing-start acceleration you can simulate, the 2025 Rimac Nevera R is the clear pick. It wins the modelled race decisively and its electric response is a different league.

If you value lighter weight, sharper everyday character and the highest top speed on offer, the 2024 Porsche 911 Turbo S is the more approachable and arguably more versatile machine, even if it trails in the simulated sprint.

Both are extraordinary cars, and the 'right' answer depends entirely on whether you want maximum straight-line ferocity or a more usable, lighter high-performance companion.
