Cayenne Turbo S vs Han EV AWD 380kW: chronicle of a drag race at 279 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Han EV AWD 380kW hits 100 km/h in 3.86 s versus 4.36 s for the Cayenne Turbo S. The instant torque of 680 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Han EV AWD 380kW leads by 0.50 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Han EV AWD 380kW is doing 154 km/h against 152 km/h for the Cayenne Turbo S. The gap is 0.38 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Han EV AWD 380kW crosses the line in 12.05 s versus 12.42 s. The 0.37 s gap represents roughly 19 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Han EV AWD 380kW maxes out at 180 km/h while the Cayenne Turbo S keeps accelerating towards 279 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.03 s.
Around 590 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the Cayenne Turbo S overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 99 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S finishes in 22.41 s versus 24.04 s. The 1.63 s delta in favour of the Cayenne Turbo S shows that top speed makes a clear difference.
What the numbers don’t tell you
On paper, the Cayenne Turbo S combines 570 hp, 800 Nm and 2,170 kg — a clear theoretical edge over the Han EV AWD 380kW. Yet the Han EV AWD 380kW launches quicker. At standstill, both motors deliver peak torque from 0 rpm: the decisive factor is no longer raw power, but available grip. If the Han EV AWD 380kW has a better traction coefficient (tyres, weight distribution, traction control calibration), it puts down more force despite inferior specs — exactly what the simulation reflects, calibrated on manufacturer 0-100 km/h times.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne Turbo S is capped at 282 km/h, the Han EV AWD 380kW at 180 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 6.36 seconds. The 0.50 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
BYD Han EV AWD 380kW has a clear edge over the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
