Off the line, the Model 3 Performance hits 100 km/h in 3.29 s versus 3.72 s for the iX M60. At this point, the Model 3 Performance leads by 0.43 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model 3 Performance is doing 157 km/h against 151 km/h for the iX M60. The gap is 0.33 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model 3 Performance crosses the line in 11.49 s versus 11.94 s. The 0.45 s gap represents roughly 23 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Model 3 Performance continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 216 km/h versus 212 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model 3 Performance finishes in 21.21 s versus 21.84 s, with a 0.64 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) vs 261 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the iX M60 is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the Model 3 Performance at 261 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 (4.26 kg/hp vs 4.03 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.80 seconds. The 0.43 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
