Model X 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 Taycan 4S Cross Turismo hits 100 km/h in 4.06 s versus 4.30 s for the Model X Long Range. At this point, the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo leads by 0.24 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo is doing 153 km/h against 158 km/h for the Model X Long Range. The gap is 0.12 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo crosses the line in 12.14 s versus 12.14 s. The 0.00 s gap represents roughly 0 m of track
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Taycan 4S Cross Turismo maxes out at 240 km/h while the Model X Long Range keeps accelerating towards 250 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.08 s.
Around 410 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the Model X Long Range overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 10 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the Model X Long Range finishes in 21.65 s versus 21.88 s. The 0.24 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model X 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 (3.67 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 0.24 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo is slightly faster than the Tesla Model X Long Range to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
