Ranger Raptor V6 292 vs Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG: chronicle of a drag race at 235 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Ranger Raptor V6 292 hits 100 km/h in 5.95 s versus 6.61 s for the Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG. At this point, the Ranger Raptor V6 292 leads by 0.66 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Ranger Raptor V6 292 is doing 127 km/h against 126 km/h for the Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG. The gap is 0.53 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Ranger Raptor V6 292 crosses the line in 14.27 s versus 14.84 s. The 0.57 s gap represents roughly 24 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The Ranger Raptor V6 292 maxes out at 180 km/h while the Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG keeps accelerating towards 235 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.58 s.
At 1,000 metres, the Ranger Raptor V6 292 finishes in 26.65 s versus 26.96 s, with just 0.30 s to spare. The Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG fails to fully close the launch gap.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 180 km/h, the Ranger Raptor V6 292 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.77 kg/hp vs 7.12 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.38 seconds. The 0.66 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Ford Ranger Raptor V6 292 has a clear edge over the SEAT Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
