Off the line, the Model S Performance hits 100 km/h in 2.53 s versus 2.72 s for the Taycan Turbo S. At this point, the Model S Performance leads by 0.19 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model S Performance is doing 175 km/h against 171 km/h for the Taycan Turbo S. The gap is 0.24 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model S Performance crosses the line in 10.31 s versus 10.64 s. The 0.33 s gap represents roughly 19 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Model S Performance continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 244 km/h versus 238 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model S Performance finishes in 19.02 s versus 19.50 s, with a 0.49 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (262 vs 260 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Model S Performance and the Taycan Turbo S are governed to 262 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 (2.89 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 4.19 seconds. The 0.19 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
