CONFIDENCE 90%Why this result?
The Tesla Model S P100D is faster at 0-100 km/h, but the Lamborghini Aventador S compensates at high speed thanks to higher peak power or top speed. At 400 m, Lamborghini Aventador S leads by 0.32 s.

Model S P100D vs Aventador S: chronicle of a drag race at 353 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Model S P100D hits 100 km/h in 2.85 s versus 2.88 s for the Aventador S. The instant torque of 967 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. The 0.02 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Aventador S is doing 182 km/h against 173 km/h for the Model S P100D. The gap is 0.12 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Aventador S crosses the line in 10.30 s versus 10.63 s. The 0.32 s gap represents roughly 19 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Aventador S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 253 km/h versus 240 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Aventador S finishes in 18.59 s versus 19.59 s, with a 1.00 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 249 km/h, the Model S P100D never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor — it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
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 4.14 seconds. The 0.02 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Tesla Model S P100D is slightly faster than the Lamborghini Aventador S to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
