Taycan Turbo S 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 S Cross Turismo hits 100 km/h in 2.83 s versus 3.22 s for the Model S Long Range. At this point, the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo leads by 0.39 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo is doing 169 km/h against 169 km/h for the Model S Long Range. The gap is 0.25 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo crosses the line in 10.77 s versus 11.02 s. The 0.25 s gap represents roughly 14 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 236 km/h versus 237 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo finishes in 19.81 s versus 20.05 s, with a 0.24 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 vs 250 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Taycan Turbo S 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 (3.16 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 4.63 seconds. The 0.39 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo is slightly faster than the Tesla Model S Long Range to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
