Off the line, the Giulia Veloce hits 100 km/h in 5.26 s versus 5.37 s for the Model Y Long Range RWD. Despite lacking instant torque, 280 hp of power compensates. The 0.12 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Giulia Veloce is doing 135 km/h against 131 km/h for the Model Y Long Range RWD. The gap is 0.10 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Giulia Veloce crosses the line in 13.56 s versus 13.90 s. The 0.35 s gap represents roughly 15 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Giulia Veloce continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 186 km/h versus 172 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Giulia Veloce finishes in 24.89 s versus 26.20 s, with a 1.31 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model Y Long Range RWD is capped at 217 km/h, the Giulia Veloce at 240 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 8.80 seconds. The 0.12 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Giulia Veloce wins (5,25 s vs 5,37 s).
Model Y Long Range RWD goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,37 seconds (calibrated simulation).
