Off the line, the Model 3 Performance hits 100 km/h in 3.36 s versus 3.74 s for the F-TYPE R P575. The instant torque of 713 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Model 3 Performance leads by 0.38 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model 3 Performance is doing 156 km/h against 165 km/h for the F-TYPE R P575. The gap is 0.20 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the F-TYPE R P575 crosses the line in 11.52 s versus 11.57 s. The 0.05 s gap represents roughly 3 m of track — barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 230 km/h versus 215 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 finishes in 20.70 s versus 21.35 s, with a 0.65 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the F-TYPE R P575 is capped at 300 km/h, the Model 3 Performance at 261 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
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 5.27 seconds. The 0.38 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
