Model X Performance vs Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo: chronicle of a drag race at 262 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo hits 100 km/h in 2.83 s versus 3.05 s for the Model X Performance. At this point, the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo leads by 0.22 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo is doing 169 km/h against 168 km/h for the Model X Performance. The gap is 0.13 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo crosses the line in 10.77 s versus 10.92 s. The 0.15 s gap represents roughly 9 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 236 km/h versus 233 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo finishes in 19.81 s versus 19.92 s, with a 0.11 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (262 vs 250 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model X Performance is capped at 262 km/h, the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo at 250 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.16 kg/hp vs 3.16 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 4.43 seconds. The 0.22 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo is slightly faster than the Tesla Model X Performance to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
