Off the line, the Model X Long Range hits 100 km/h in 4.30 s versus 4.63 s for the 750Ld xDrive. The instant torque of 660 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. The 0.33 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Model X Long Range is doing 158 km/h against 145 km/h for the 750Ld xDrive. The gap is 0.33 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X Long Range crosses the line in 12.14 s versus 12.84 s. The 0.70 s gap represents roughly 34 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model X Long Range continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 221 km/h versus 203 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X Long Range finishes in 21.65 s versus 23.18 s, with a 1.53 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Model X Long Range and the 750Ld xDrive are governed to 249 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
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 7.01 seconds. The 0.33 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Model X Long Range wins (4,29 s vs 4,63 s).
Model X Long Range goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,29 seconds (calibrated simulation).
