Off the line, the Model X Performance hits 100 km/h in 3.05 s versus 3.14 s for the Taycan Turbo. The 0.09 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Model X Performance is doing 168 km/h against 164 km/h for the Taycan Turbo. The gap is 0.14 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X Performance crosses the line in 10.92 s versus 11.15 s. The 0.23 s gap represents roughly 13 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Model X Performance continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 233 km/h versus 229 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X Performance finishes in 19.92 s versus 20.28 s, with a 0.36 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (262 vs 260 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Model X Performance and the Taycan Turbo are governed to 262 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold — an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.16 kg/hp vs 3.47 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 4.80 seconds. The 0.09 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
