The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the A110 S 292 hits 100 km/h in 3.93 s versus 4.30 s for the Model X Long Range. Despite lacking instant torque, 296 hp of power compensates. At this point, the A110 S 292 leads by 0.36 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the A110 S 292 is doing 154 km/h against 158 km/h for the Model X Long Range. The gap is 0.19 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the A110 S 292 crosses the line in 12.08 s versus 12.14 s. The 0.06 s gap represents roughly 3 m of track - barely a car length.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Model X Long Range maxes out at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h while the A110 S 292 keeps accelerating towards 264 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.08 s.

Around 497 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the Model X Long Range overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 14 km/h higher top speed.

At 1,000 metres, the Model X Long Range finishes in 21.65 s versus 22.15 s. The 0.51 s delta in favour of the Model X Long Range shows that top speed makes a clear difference.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Electronically capped at 249 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Model X Long Range 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 5.94 seconds. The 0.36 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
