Off the line, the Model X 90D hits 100 km/h in 5.03 s versus 8.31 s for the Terramar. At this point, the Model X 90D leads by 3.28 s and sits roughly 22 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model X 90D is doing 147 km/h against 116 km/h for the Terramar. The gap is 2.01 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X 90D crosses the line in 13.07 s versus 16.25 s. The 3.18 s gap represents roughly 121 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model X 90D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 205 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X 90D finishes in 23.32 s versus 29.41 s, with a 6.09 s lead.
The Model X 90D features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Terramar’s FWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Electronically capped at 249 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Model X 90D never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.59 kg/hp vs 9.00 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.30 seconds. The 3.28 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Model X 90D wins (5,03 s vs 8,31 s).
Model X 90D goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,03 seconds (calibrated simulation).
