Off the line, the Cayenne GTS hits 100 km/h in 4.92 s versus 5.16 s for the EV6 AWD Long Range. Despite lacking instant torque, 440 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Cayenne GTS leads by 0.25 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne GTS is doing 141 km/h against 135 km/h for the EV6 AWD Long Range. The gap is 0.23 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne GTS crosses the line in 13.11 s versus 13.61 s. The 0.50 s gap represents roughly 23 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 195 km/h versus 183 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne GTS finishes in 23.91 s versus 25.54 s, with a 1.64 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne GTS is capped at 262 km/h, the EV6 AWD Long Range at 185 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 8.14 seconds. The 0.25 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
