Aventador S vs Model S Long Range: chronicle of a drag race at 353 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Aventador S hits 100 km/h in 2.88 s versus 3.86 s for the Model S Long Range. Despite lacking instant torque, 740 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Aventador S leads by 0.98 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Aventador S is doing 182 km/h against 164 km/h for the Model S Long Range. The gap is 0.93 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Aventador S crosses the line in 10.30 s versus 11.60 s. The 1.30 s gap represents roughly 72 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Aventador S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 253 km/h versus 231 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Aventador S finishes in 18.59 s versus 20.76 s, with a 2.17 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 249 km/h, the Model S Long Range 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 5.30 seconds. The 0.98 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Lamborghini Aventador S has a clear edge over the Tesla Model S Long Range to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
