Off the line, the Model S P100D hits 100 km/h in 2.85 s versus 9.33 s for the Seal U 160kW 2WD. At this point, the Model S P100D leads by 6.48 s and sits roughly 28 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model S P100D is doing 173 km/h against 115 km/h for the Seal U 160kW 2WD. The gap is 4.57 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model S P100D crosses the line in 10.63 s versus 17.01 s. The 6.38 s gap represents roughly 227 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model S P100D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 240 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model S P100D finishes in 19.59 s versus 30.73 s, with a 11.15 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model S P100D is capped at 249 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Seal U 160kW 2WD at 160 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.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (2.94 kg/hp vs 9.15 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.04 seconds. The 6.48 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Model S P100D wins (2,85 s vs 9,33 s).
Model S P100D goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 2,85 seconds (calibrated simulation).
Model S P100D: 762 hp, ratio 2,94 kg/hp. Seal U 160kW 2WD: 218 hp, ratio 9,15 kg/hp.
Model S P100D: 250 km/h. Seal U 160kW 2WD: 160 km/h.
