Taycan Turbo vs Model X Long Range: chronicle of a drag race at 260 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Taycan Turbo hits 100 km/h in 3.14 s versus 4.11 s for the Model X Long Range. At this point, the Taycan Turbo leads by 0.97 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Taycan Turbo is doing 164 km/h against 160 km/h for the Model X Long Range. The gap is 0.70 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Taycan Turbo crosses the line in 11.15 s versus 11.92 s. The 0.77 s gap represents roughly 42 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Taycan Turbo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 229 km/h versus 224 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Taycan Turbo finishes in 20.28 s versus 21.31 s, with a 1.03 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (260 vs 250 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Taycan Turbo is capped at 260 km/h, the Model X Long Range at 249 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 3.51 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.65 seconds. The 0.97 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche Taycan Turbo has a clear edge over the Tesla Model X Long Range to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
