Off the line, the S e-tron GT hits 100 km/h in 3.36 s versus 5.24 s for the Taycan with Performance Battery Plus (PB). At this point, the S e-tron GT leads by 1.89 s and sits roughly 20 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the S e-tron GT is doing 158 km/h against 148 km/h for the Taycan with Performance Battery Plus (PB). The gap is 1.39 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the S e-tron GT crosses the line in 11.50 s versus 13.07 s. The 1.57 s gap represents roughly 80 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the S e-tron GT continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 219 km/h versus 217 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the S e-tron GT finishes in 21.11 s versus 22.91 s, with a 1.81 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 with Performance Battery Plus (PB) at 230 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 4.59 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.09 seconds. The 1.89 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
