Off the line, the Model X Performance hits 100 km/h in 3.05 s versus 4.56 s for the Bmw M550d xDrive Touring. The instant torque of 1,139 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Model X Performance leads by 1.51 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model X Performance is doing 168 km/h against 144 km/h for the Bmw M550d xDrive Touring. The gap is 1.25 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X Performance crosses the line in 10.92 s versus 12.82 s. The 1.90 s gap represents roughly 90 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model X Performance continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 233 km/h versus 200 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X Performance finishes in 19.92 s versus 23.33 s, with a 3.42 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (262 vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model X Performance is capped at 262 km/h, the Bmw M550d xDrive Touring at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) 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.
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 7.01 seconds. The 1.51 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.
