Model X Long Range vs Taycan GTS Sport Turismo: chronicle of a drag race at 250 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo hits 100 km/h in 3.65 s versus 4.11 s for the Model X Long Range. At this point, the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo leads by 0.46 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo is doing 155 km/h against 160 km/h for the Model X Long Range. The gap is 0.27 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo crosses the line in 11.78 s versus 11.92 s. The 0.15 s gap represents roughly 8 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. Past 400 metres, both rivals hit the same electronic ceiling at 250 km/h. Neither can claw back ground through top speed — the outcome hinges on the acceleration curve between 100 and 250 km/h.
At 1,000 metres, the Model X Long Range finishes in 21.31 s versus 21.42 s. The 0.12 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Model X Long Range and the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo are governed to 249 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.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.51 kg/hp vs 3.96 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.65 seconds. The 0.46 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo is slightly faster than the Tesla Model X Long Range to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
