Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo vs Model S Long Range: chronicle of a drag race at 250 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo hits 100 km/h in 3.24 s versus 3.86 s for the Model S Long Range. At this point, the Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo leads by 0.62 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo is doing 162 km/h against 164 km/h for the Model S Long Range. The gap is 0.40 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo crosses the line in 11.26 s versus 11.60 s. The 0.34 s gap represents roughly 19 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows.
At 1,000 metres, the Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo finishes in 20.55 s versus 20.76 s, with just 0.22 s to spare. The Model S Long Range fails to fully close the launch gap.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo and the Model S Long Range are governed to 250 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 (3.52 kg/hp vs 3.31 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.30 seconds. The 0.62 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo has a clear edge over the Tesla Model S Long Range to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
