Model S Long Range vs F-TYPE R P575: chronicle of a drag race at 300 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the F-TYPE R P575 hits 100 km/h in 3.74 s versus 3.86 s for the Model S Long Range. Despite lacking instant torque, 575 hp of power compensates. At this point, the F-TYPE R P575 leads by 0.12 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 is doing 165 km/h against 164 km/h for the Model S Long Range. The gap is 0.07 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the F-TYPE R P575 crosses the line in 11.52 s versus 11.60 s. The 0.08 s gap represents roughly 5 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 230 km/h versus 231 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 finishes in 20.70 s versus 20.76 s, with a 0.06 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model S Long Range is capped at 249 km/h, the F-TYPE R P575 at 300 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.30 seconds. The 0.12 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Tesla Model S Long Range and Jaguar F-TYPE R P575 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.
