Off the line, the Model S Performance hits 100 km/h in 2.53 s versus 5.98 s for the DS7 E-Tense 4x4 300. At this point, the Model S Performance leads by 3.45 s and sits roughly 17 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model S Performance is doing 175 km/h against 127 km/h for the DS7 E-Tense 4x4 300. The gap is 2.55 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model S Performance crosses the line in 10.31 s versus 14.27 s. The 3.95 s gap represents roughly 160 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model S Performance continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 244 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model S Performance finishes in 19.02 s versus 26.41 s, with a 7.39 s lead.
Electronically capped at 262 km/h, the Model S Performance 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 (2.89 kg/hp vs 6.23 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.63 seconds. The 3.45 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
