Model X P100D vs 488 GTB: chronicle of a drag race at 339 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the 488 GTB hits 100 km/h in 3.03 s versus 3.05 s for the Model X P100D. Despite lacking instant torque, 669 hp of power compensates. The 0.02 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the 488 GTB is doing 188 km/h against 167 km/h for the Model X P100D. The gap is 0.32 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the 488 GTB crosses the line in 10.20 s versus 10.97 s. The 0.77 s gap represents roughly 43 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the 488 GTB continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 261 km/h versus 231 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 488 GTB finishes in 18.27 s versus 20.13 s, with a 1.86 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 249 km/h, the Model X P100D 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.
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 4.48 seconds. The 0.02 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Tesla Model X P100D and Ferrari 488 GTB are virtually tied to 100 km/h. The gap is under a tenth of a second — only the physics engine can settle it step by step.
