Model X Performance vs S e-tron GT: chronicle of a drag race at 262 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Model X Performance hits 100 km/h in 3.05 s versus 3.36 s for the S e-tron GT. At this point, the Model X Performance leads by 0.31 s and sits roughly 1 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Model X Performance is doing 168 km/h against 158 km/h for the S e-tron GT. The gap is 0.32 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X Performance crosses the line in 10.92 s versus 11.50 s. The 0.59 s gap represents roughly 31 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Model X Performance continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 233 km/h versus 219 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X Performance finishes in 19.92 s versus 21.11 s, with a 1.19 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model X Performance is capped at 262 km/h, the S e-tron GT at 245 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 (3.16 kg/hp vs 3.47 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.14 seconds. The 0.31 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Tesla Model X Performance is slightly faster than the Audi S e-tron GT to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
