Tang EV AWD 380kW vs Cayenne GTS: chronicle of a drag race at 262 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Tang EV AWD 380kW hits 100 km/h in 4.39 s versus 4.92 s for the Cayenne GTS. The instant torque of 700 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Tang EV AWD 380kW leads by 0.53 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Tang EV AWD 380kW is doing 147 km/h against 141 km/h for the Cayenne GTS. The gap is 0.32 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Tang EV AWD 380kW crosses the line in 12.64 s versus 13.11 s. The 0.47 s gap represents roughly 23 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Tang EV AWD 380kW maxes out at 180 km/h while the Cayenne GTS keeps accelerating towards 262 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.35 s.
Around 765 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the Cayenne GTS overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 82 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne GTS finishes in 23.91 s versus 24.64 s. The 0.73 s delta in favour of the Cayenne GTS shows that top speed makes a clear difference.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Tang EV AWD 380kW is capped at 180 km/h, the Cayenne GTS at 262 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 7.37 seconds. The 0.53 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
BYD Tang EV AWD 380kW has a clear edge over the Porsche Cayenne GTS to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
