Model S P100D vs Purosangue V12 725: chronicle of a drag race at 320 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Model S P100D hits 100 km/h in 2.85 s versus 3.32 s for the Purosangue V12 725. The instant torque of 967 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Model S P100D leads by 0.47 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Model S P100D is doing 173 km/h against 167 km/h for the Purosangue V12 725. The gap is 0.38 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model S P100D crosses the line in 10.63 s versus 11.12 s. The 0.49 s gap represents roughly 28 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Model S P100D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 240 km/h versus 230 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model S P100D finishes in 19.59 s versus 20.22 s, with a 0.63 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (320 km/h), the Purosangue V12 725 never recovers its launch deficit.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 249 km/h, the Model S 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 4.79 seconds. The 0.47 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Tesla Model S P100D has a clear edge over the Ferrari Purosangue V12 725 to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
