Off the line, the Model S Long Range hits 100 km/h in 3.22 s versus 3.24 s for the Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo. The 0.02 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Model S Long Range is doing 169 km/h against 162 km/h for the Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo. The gap is 0.09 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model S Long Range crosses the line in 11.02 s versus 11.26 s. The 0.25 s gap represents roughly 14 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Model S Long Range continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 237 km/h versus 227 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model S Long Range finishes in 20.05 s versus 20.55 s, with a 0.49 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 Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo and the Model S Long Range are governed to 250 (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 (3.52 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 4.93 seconds. The 0.02 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.
