Off the line, the Model S Long Range hits 100 km/h in 3.29 s versus 3.55 s for the M5 Touring. At this point, the Model S Long Range leads by 0.26 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model S Long Range is doing 167 km/h against 165 km/h for the M5 Touring. The gap is 0.21 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model S Long Range crosses the line in 11.11 s versus 11.38 s. The 0.27 s gap represents roughly 15 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Model S Long Range continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 236 km/h versus 232 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model S Long Range finishes in 20.17 s versus 20.40 s, with a 0.23 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (305 km/h), the M5 Touring never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the M5 Touring is capped at 305 km/h, the Model S Long Range 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 (3.29 kg/hp vs 3.09 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.06 seconds. The 0.26 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
