Off the line, the Taycan 4S hits 100 km/h in 3.93 s versus 4.08 s for the S6 Sportback e-tron. At this point, the Taycan 4S leads by 0.15 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Taycan 4S is doing 153 km/h against 146 km/h for the S6 Sportback e-tron. The gap is 0.17 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Taycan 4S crosses the line in 12.06 s versus 12.52 s. The 0.46 s gap represents roughly 22 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Taycan 4S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 215 km/h versus 191 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Taycan 4S finishes in 21.83 s versus 23.58 s, with a 1.75 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the S6 Sportback e-tron is capped at 240 km/h, the Taycan 4S 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 (4.28 kg/hp vs 4.14 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.31 seconds. The 0.15 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
