Off the line, the Model S Long Range hits 100 km/h in 3.22 s versus 3.65 s for the Taycan GTS. At this point, the Model S Long Range leads by 0.43 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model S Long Range is doing 169 km/h against 156 km/h for the Taycan GTS. The gap is 0.43 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model S Long Range crosses the line in 11.02 s versus 11.75 s. The 0.73 s gap represents roughly 39 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model S Long Range continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 237 km/h versus 219 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model S Long Range finishes in 20.05 s versus 21.32 s, with a 1.26 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Model S Long Range and the Taycan GTS are governed to 249 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.09 kg/hp vs 3.90 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.53 seconds. The 0.43 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
