Off the line, the Model S P100D hits 100 km/h in 2.85 s versus 3.14 s for the Taycan Turbo. At this point, the Model S P100D leads by 0.29 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model S P100D is doing 173 km/h against 164 km/h for the Taycan Turbo. The gap is 0.33 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model S P100D crosses the line in 10.63 s versus 11.15 s. The 0.52 s gap represents roughly 29 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Model S P100D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 240 km/h versus 229 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model S P100D finishes in 19.59 s versus 20.28 s, with a 0.69 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) vs 260 km/h), preventing any comeback.
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 Taycan Turbo at 260 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 3.47 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 4.80 seconds. The 0.29 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
