Off the line, the S e-tron GT hits 100 km/h in 3.36 s versus 3.65 s for the Taycan GTS. At this point, the S e-tron GT leads by 0.29 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the S e-tron GT is doing 158 km/h against 156 km/h for the Taycan GTS. The gap is 0.23 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the S e-tron GT crosses the line in 11.50 s versus 11.75 s. The 0.24 s gap represents roughly 13 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the S e-tron GT continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 219 km/h versus 219 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the S e-tron GT finishes in 21.11 s versus 21.32 s, with a 0.21 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (245 vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the S e-tron GT is capped at 245 km/h, the Taycan GTS at 249 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.47 kg/hp vs 3.90 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.53 seconds. The 0.29 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
