Race simulation at real speed
CONFIDENCE 99%The Taycan 4S reaches 100 km/h first (4.05 s vs 4.11 s), but the Model X is ahead at every metre of the race. Explanation: the Model X accelerates harder at low speed and builds a distance gap before either car hits 100 km/h.
Why this result?
The Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo is faster at 0-100 km/h, but the Tesla Model X Long Range compensates at high speed thanks to higher peak power or top speed. At 400 m, Tesla Model X Long Range leads by 0.21 s.

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 4.11 s for the Model X Long Range. The 0.05 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Model X Long Range is doing 160 km/h against 153 km/h for the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo. The gap is 0.04 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X Long Range crosses the line in 11.92 s versus 12.14 s. The 0.21 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 Model X Long Range continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 224 km/h versus 216 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X Long Range finishes in 21.31 s versus 21.88 s, with a 0.58 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 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 (3.51 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 0.05 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Tesla Model X Long Range and Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo 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.
