Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG vs Polo GTI: chronicle of a drag race at 251 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Polo GTI hits 100 km/h in 6.57 s versus 6.61 s for the Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG. The 0.04 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG is doing 126 km/h against 130 km/h for the Polo GTI. The gap is 0.05 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Polo GTI crosses the line in 14.70 s versus 14.84 s. The 0.14 s gap represents roughly 6 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Polo GTI continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 182 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Polo GTI finishes in 26.28 s versus 26.96 s, with a 0.68 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.12 kg/hp vs 6.43 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.38 seconds. The 0.04 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
SEAT Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG and Volkswagen Polo GTI are virtually tied to 100 km/h. The gap is under a tenth of a second — only the physics engine can settle it step by step.
