Off the line, the F8 Tributo hits 100 km/h in 2.92 s versus 3.05 s for the Model X Performance. Despite lacking instant torque, 721 hp of power compensates. The 0.13 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the F8 Tributo is doing 193 km/h against 168 km/h for the Model X Performance. The gap is 0.43 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the F8 Tributo crosses the line in 9.98 s versus 10.92 s. The 0.94 s gap represents roughly 53 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the F8 Tributo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 267 km/h versus 233 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F8 Tributo finishes in 17.85 s versus 19.92 s, with a 2.07 s lead.
Electronically capped at 262 km/h, the Model X Performance 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 4.43 seconds. The 0.13 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, F8 Tributo wins (2,92 s vs 3,05 s).
Model X Performance goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,05 seconds (calibrated simulation).
