Off the line, the AMG S 63 E Performance hits 100 km/h in 3.27 s versus 3.33 s for the Model S P85D. The 0.06 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the AMG S 63 E Performance is doing 165 km/h against 167 km/h for the Model S P85D. The gap is 0.02 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the AMG S 63 E Performance crosses the line in 11.12 s versus 11.17 s. The 0.05 s gap represents roughly 3 m of track — barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the AMG S 63 E Performance continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 241 km/h versus 232 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the AMG S 63 E Performance finishes in 20.09 s versus 20.31 s, with a 0.22 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the AMG S 63 E Performance and the Model S P85D are governed to 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold — an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.24 kg/hp vs 3.24 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 4.89 seconds. The 0.06 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
