Off the line, the Model X 100D hits 100 km/h in 4.64 s versus 8.36 s for the DS9 E-Tense 250. At this point, the Model X 100D leads by 3.72 s and sits roughly 29 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model X 100D is doing 148 km/h against 121 km/h for the DS9 E-Tense 250. The gap is 2.53 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X 100D crosses the line in 12.78 s versus 16.22 s. The 3.44 s gap represents roughly 136 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model X 100D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 205 km/h versus 170 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X 100D finishes in 23.03 s versus 28.57 s, with a 5.54 s lead.
Electronically capped at 249 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Model X 100D 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.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.62 kg/hp vs 7.51 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.32 seconds. The 3.72 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
