Under the bonnet

Manufacturer technical specifications. The power-to-weight ratio is the key physical factor in a drag race.

The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Model X P90D hits 100 km/h in 3.32 s versus 6.04 s for the iX xDrive40. At this point, the Model X P90D leads by 2.72 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Model X P90D is doing 166 km/h against 127 km/h for the iX xDrive40. The gap is 1.98 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the Model X P90D crosses the line in 11.18 s versus 14.36 s. The 3.18 s gap represents roughly 131 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 175 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X P90D finishes in 20.35 s versus 26.37 s, with a 6.02 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model X P90D is capped at 249 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the iX xDrive40 at 200 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.

With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.24 kg/hp vs 7.48 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.74 seconds. The 2.72 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
