Off the line, the Taycan hits 100 km/h in 5.13 s versus 5.16 s for the EV6 AWD Long Range. The 0.04 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Taycan is doing 148 km/h against 135 km/h for the EV6 AWD Long Range. The gap is 0.05 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Taycan crosses the line in 13.02 s versus 13.61 s. The 0.59 s gap represents roughly 26 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Taycan continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 215 km/h versus 183 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Taycan finishes in 22.91 s versus 25.54 s, with a 2.63 s lead.
The EV6 AWD Long Range features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Taycan’s RWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Taycan is capped at 230 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.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.15 kg/hp vs 6.72 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.14 seconds. The 0.04 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Taycan and EV6 AWD Long Range are neck and neck (5,13 s vs 5,16 s, no significant gap).
Taycan goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,13 seconds (calibrated simulation).
