Off the line, the Model 3 Long Range RWD hits 100 km/h in 5.72 s versus 5.76 s for the Stelvio Veloce. The instant torque of 446 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. The 0.04 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Stelvio Veloce is doing 129 km/h against 131 km/h for the Model 3 Long Range RWD. The gap is 0.06 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Stelvio Veloce crosses the line in 14.12 s versus 14.16 s. The 0.04 s gap represents roughly 2 m of track
Past 400 metres, the Stelvio Veloce continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 177 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Stelvio Veloce finishes in 26.01 s versus 26.28 s, with a 0.27 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (230 vs 224 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Stelvio Veloce is capped at 230 km/h, the Model 3 Long Range RWD at 225 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.26 seconds. The 0.04 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Stelvio Veloce and Model 3 Long Range RWD are neck and neck (5,72 s vs 5,76 s, no significant gap).
Stelvio Veloce goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,76 seconds (calibrated simulation).
