The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Model X P100D hits 100 km/h in 3.05 s versus 3.15 s for the 812 GTS. The instant torque of 967 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. The 0.10 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the 812 GTS is doing 178 km/h against 167 km/h for the Model X P100D. The gap is 0.08 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the 812 GTS crosses the line in 10.66 s versus 10.97 s. The 0.31 s gap represents roughly 17 m of track - two to three car lengths.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the 812 GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 245 km/h versus 231 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 812 GTS finishes in 19.24 s versus 20.13 s, with a 0.88 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Electronically capped at 249 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) 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 0.10 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
