Off the line, the Taycan Turbo hits 100 km/h in 3.14 s versus 3.36 s for the S e-tron GT. At this point, the Taycan Turbo leads by 0.21 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Taycan Turbo is doing 164 km/h against 158 km/h for the S e-tron GT. The gap is 0.19 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Taycan Turbo crosses the line in 11.15 s versus 11.50 s. The 0.35 s gap represents roughly 19 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Taycan Turbo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 229 km/h versus 219 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Taycan Turbo finishes in 20.28 s versus 21.11 s, with a 0.83 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the S e-tron GT is capped at 245 km/h, the Taycan Turbo at 260 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 3.47 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.14 seconds. The 0.21 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
