The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Model X P90D hits 100 km/h in 3.32 s versus 3.72 s for the iX M60. The 0.39 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Model X P90D is doing 166 km/h against 151 km/h for the iX M60. The gap is 0.39 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the Model X P90D crosses the line in 11.18 s versus 11.94 s. The 0.76 s gap represents roughly 39 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Model X P90D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 231 km/h versus 212 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X P90D finishes in 20.35 s versus 21.84 s, with a 1.49 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.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Model X P90D and the iX M60 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.

With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.24 kg/hp vs 4.26 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.80 seconds. The 0.39 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
