Off the line, the Taycan Turbo hits 100 km/h in 3.14 s versus 3.22 s for the Model S Long Range. The 0.07 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Model S Long Range is doing 169 km/h against 164 km/h for the Taycan Turbo. The gap is 0.01 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 11.15 s. The 0.13 s gap represents roughly 7 m of track — barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Model S Long Range continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 237 km/h versus 229 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model S Long Range finishes in 20.05 s versus 20.28 s, with a 0.23 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (260 vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Taycan Turbo is capped at 260 km/h, the Model S Long Range at 249 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) 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 (3.47 kg/hp vs 3.09 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 4.80 seconds. The 0.07 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.
