Off the line, the Model X P90D hits 100 km/h in 3.32 s versus 5.37 s for the F-PACE P400e. At this point, the Model X P90D leads by 2.05 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model X P90D is doing 166 km/h against 137 km/h for the F-PACE P400e. The gap is 1.61 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 13.60 s. The 2.42 s gap represents roughly 109 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model X P90D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 231 km/h versus 191 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X P90D finishes in 20.35 s versus 24.60 s, with a 4.25 s lead.
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 F-PACE P400e at 220 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.24 kg/hp vs 5.55 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.18 seconds. The 2.05 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
