Model X P90D vs 488 GTB: chronicle of a drag race at 339 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the 488 GTB hits 100 km/h in 3.03 s versus 3.32 s for the Model X P90D. Despite lacking instant torque, 669 hp of power compensates. At this point, the 488 GTB leads by 0.29 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the 488 GTB is doing 188 km/h against 166 km/h for the Model X P90D. The gap is 0.52 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the 488 GTB crosses the line in 10.20 s versus 11.18 s. The 0.98 s gap represents roughly 55 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the 488 GTB continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 261 km/h versus 231 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 488 GTB finishes in 18.27 s versus 20.35 s, with a 2.08 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 249 km/h, the Model X P90D never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor — it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
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 4.75 seconds. The 0.29 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Ferrari 488 GTB is slightly faster than the Tesla Model X P90D to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
