Model S Long Range vs Taycan 4S Cross Turismo: chronicle of a drag race at 250 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Model S Long Range hits 100 km/h in 3.29 s versus 4.06 s for the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo. At this point, the Model S Long Range leads by 0.76 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Model S Long Range is doing 167 km/h against 153 km/h for the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo. The gap is 0.68 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model S Long Range crosses the line in 11.11 s versus 12.14 s. The 1.03 s gap represents roughly 53 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Model S Long Range continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 236 km/h versus 216 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model S Long Range finishes in 20.17 s versus 21.88 s, with a 1.71 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 vs 240 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model S Long Range is capped at 249 km/h, the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo at 240 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 (3.09 kg/hp vs 4.06 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.03 seconds. The 0.76 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Tesla Model S Long Range has a clear edge over the Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
