Taycan with Performance Battery Plus (PB) vs Bmw 745Le: chronicle of a drag race at 250 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Taycan with Performance Battery Plus (PB) hits 100 km/h in 5.24 s versus 5.36 s for the Bmw 745Le. The instant torque of 357 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. Despite the faster sprint time, the Bmw 745Le is 1 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Taycan with Performance Battery Plus (PB) is doing 148 km/h against 141 km/h for the Bmw 745Le. The gap is 0.14 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Taycan with Performance Battery Plus (PB) crosses the line in 13.07 s versus 13.47 s. The 0.39 s gap represents roughly 19 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Taycan with Performance Battery Plus (PB) continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 217 km/h versus 200 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Taycan with Performance Battery Plus (PB) finishes in 22.91 s versus 23.97 s, with a 1.05 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (250 km/h), the Bmw 745Le never recovers its launch deficit.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Taycan with Performance Battery Plus (PB) is capped at 230 km/h, the Bmw 745Le at 250 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.84 seconds. The 0.12 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche Taycan with Performance Battery Plus (PB) and Bmw 745Le are virtually tied to 100 km/h. The gap is under a tenth of a second — only the physics engine can settle it step by step.
