Off the line, the e-tron GT quattro hits 100 km/h in 4.14 s versus 8.36 s for the DS9 E-Tense 250. At this point, the e-tron GT quattro leads by 4.22 s and sits roughly 32 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the e-tron GT quattro is doing 149 km/h against 121 km/h for the DS9 E-Tense 250. The gap is 2.91 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the e-tron GT quattro crosses the line in 12.36 s versus 16.22 s. The 3.86 s gap represents roughly 152 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the e-tron GT quattro continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 208 km/h versus 170 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the e-tron GT quattro finishes in 22.46 s versus 28.57 s, with a 6.11 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (245 vs 235 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 245 km/h, the e-tron GT quattro never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor — it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.95 kg/hp vs 7.51 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.32 seconds. The 4.22 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
