812 Superfast vs Model X Performance: chronicle of a drag race at 327 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the 812 Superfast hits 100 km/h in 2.93 s versus 3.05 s for the Model X Performance. Despite lacking instant torque, 799 hp of power compensates. At this point, the 812 Superfast leads by 0.12 s and sits roughly 1 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the 812 Superfast is doing 182 km/h against 168 km/h for the Model X Performance. The gap is 0.27 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the 812 Superfast crosses the line in 10.37 s versus 10.92 s. The 0.55 s gap represents roughly 31 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the 812 Superfast continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 249 km/h versus 233 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 812 Superfast finishes in 18.81 s versus 19.92 s, with a 1.11 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 0.12 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Ferrari 812 Superfast is slightly faster than the Tesla Model X Performance to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
