Model X Long Range vs 911 Turbo S: chronicle of a drag race at 317 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the 911 Turbo S hits 100 km/h in 2.95 s versus 4.30 s for the Model X Long Range. Despite lacking instant torque, 568 hp of power compensates. At this point, the 911 Turbo S leads by 1.34 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the 911 Turbo S is doing 176 km/h against 158 km/h for the Model X Long Range. The gap is 1.15 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Turbo S crosses the line in 10.57 s versus 12.14 s. The 1.57 s gap represents roughly 83 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the 911 Turbo S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 243 km/h versus 221 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Turbo S finishes in 19.22 s versus 21.65 s, with a 2.43 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model X Long Range is capped at 249 km/h, the 911 Turbo S at 317 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 5.92 seconds. The 1.34 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche 911 Turbo S has a clear edge over the Tesla Model X Long Range to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
