Cayenne Turbo S vs Tang EV AWD 380kW: chronicle of a drag race at 279 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Cayenne Turbo S hits 100 km/h in 4.36 s versus 4.39 s for the Tang EV AWD 380kW. Despite lacking instant torque, 570 hp of power compensates. The 0.03 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S is doing 152 km/h against 147 km/h for the Tang EV AWD 380kW. The gap is 0.04 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne Turbo S crosses the line in 12.42 s versus 12.64 s. The 0.22 s gap represents roughly 11 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 211 km/h versus 180 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S finishes in 22.41 s versus 24.64 s, with a 2.22 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne Turbo S is capped at 282 km/h, the Tang 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 6.58 seconds. The 0.03 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche Cayenne Turbo S and BYD Tang EV AWD 380kW are virtually tied to 100 km/h. The gap is under a tenth of a second — only the physics engine can settle it step by step.
