Cayenne (Manual) 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 Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG hits 100 km/h in 6.61 s versus 7.70 s for the Cayenne (Manual). At this point, the Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG leads by 1.09 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG is doing 126 km/h against 119 km/h for the Cayenne (Manual). The gap is 0.35 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG crosses the line in 14.84 s versus 15.52 s. The 0.68 s gap represents roughly 27 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 174 km/h versus 165 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG finishes in 26.96 s versus 28.28 s, with a 1.33 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (225 vs 235 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 227 km/h, the Cayenne (Manual) 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 (7.35 kg/hp vs 7.12 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.24 seconds. The 1.09 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
SEAT Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG has a clear edge over the Porsche Cayenne (Manual) to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
