Off the line, the Model 3 Long Range AWD hits 100 km/h in 4.44 s versus 4.57 s for the V60 T8 AWD Recharge. Despite the faster sprint time, the V60 T8 AWD Recharge is 3 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the Model 3 Long Range AWD is doing 143 km/h against 141 km/h for the V60 T8 AWD Recharge. The gap is 0.01 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model 3 Long Range AWD crosses the line in 12.80 s versus 12.84 s. The 0.04 s gap represents roughly 2 m of track
Past 400 metres, the Model 3 Long Range AWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 196 km/h versus 180 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model 3 Long Range AWD finishes in 23.49 s versus 24.84 s, with a 1.35 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the V60 T8 AWD Recharge is capped at 180 km/h, the Model 3 Long Range AWD at 233 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 (5.15 kg/hp vs 5.34 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.19 seconds. The 0.13 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
