Off the line, the Seal 390 AWD hits 100 km/h in 3.77 s versus 5.73 s for the Cayenne S. The instant torque of 670 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Seal 390 AWD leads by 1.96 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Seal 390 AWD is doing 155 km/h against 133 km/h for the Cayenne S. The gap is 1.37 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Seal 390 AWD crosses the line in 11.93 s versus 13.92 s. The 1.98 s gap represents roughly 88 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The Seal 390 AWD maxes out at 180 km/h while the Cayenne S keeps accelerating towards 255 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 2.06 s.
At 1,000 metres, the Seal 390 AWD finishes in 23.93 s versus 25.21 s, with just 1.28 s to spare. The Cayenne S fails to fully close the launch gap.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Seal 390 AWD is capped at 180 km/h, the Cayenne S at 258 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 8.75 seconds. The 1.96 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
