Off the line, the Model X 90D hits 100 km/h in 5.03 s versus 5.76 s for the Stelvio Veloce. The instant torque of 967 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. Despite the faster sprint time, the Stelvio Veloce is 2 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the Model X 90D is doing 147 km/h against 129 km/h for the Stelvio Veloce. The gap is 0.42 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X 90D crosses the line in 13.07 s versus 14.12 s. The 1.05 s gap represents roughly 46 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model X 90D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 205 km/h versus 177 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X 90D finishes in 23.32 s versus 26.01 s, with a 2.69 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model X 90D is capped at 249 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Stelvio Veloce at 230 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 9.26 seconds. The 0.73 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Model X 90D wins (5,03 s vs 5,76 s).
Model X 90D goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,03 seconds (calibrated simulation).
