CONFIDENCE 92%The Model X reaches 100 km/h first (3.05 s vs 3.15 s), but the 812 GTS is ahead at every metre of the race. Explanation: the 812 GTS accelerates harder at low speed and builds a distance gap before either car hits 100 km/h.
Why this result?
The Tesla Model X Performance is faster at 0-100 km/h, but the Ferrari 812 GTS compensates at high speed thanks to higher peak power or top speed. At 400 m, Ferrari 812 GTS leads by 0.26 s.

812 GTS vs Model X Performance: chronicle of a drag race at 327 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Model X Performance hits 100 km/h in 3.05 s versus 3.15 s for the 812 GTS. The instant torque of 1,139 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Model X Performance leads by 0.10 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the 812 GTS is doing 178 km/h against 168 km/h for the Model X Performance. The gap is 0.06 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 812 GTS crosses the line in 10.66 s versus 10.92 s. The 0.26 s gap represents roughly 15 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 233 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 812 GTS finishes in 19.24 s versus 19.92 s, with a 0.68 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 262 km/h, the Model X 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.
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 4.43 seconds. The 0.10 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Tesla Model X Performance is slightly faster than the Ferrari 812 GTS to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
