The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Model X P100D hits 100 km/h in 3.05 s versus 3.73 s for the Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid Coupe. At this point, the Model X P100D leads by 0.68 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Model X P100D is doing 167 km/h against 157 km/h for the Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid Coupe. The gap is 0.58 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the Model X P100D crosses the line in 10.97 s versus 11.78 s. The 0.81 s gap represents roughly 43 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Model X P100D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 231 km/h versus 217 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X P100D finishes in 20.13 s versus 21.44 s, with a 1.32 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (295 km/h), the Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid Coupe never recovers its launch deficit.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model X P100D is capped at 249 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid Coupe at 295 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.

With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.24 kg/hp vs 3.78 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.56 seconds. The 0.68 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
