Off the line, the G6 hits 100 km/h in 3.80 s versus 5.75 s for the Model S 85. At this point, the G6 leads by 1.94 s and sits roughly 20 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the G6 is doing 152 km/h against 137 km/h for the Model S 85. The gap is 1.46 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the G6 crosses the line in 12.03 s versus 13.94 s. The 1.91 s gap represents roughly 87 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the G6 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 200 km/h versus 190 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the G6 finishes in 22.89 s versus 25.17 s, with a 2.28 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (200 vs 201 km/h), preventing any comeback.
The G6 features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Model S 85’s RWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the G6 and the Model S 85 are governed to 200 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 (4.41 kg/hp vs 5.82 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.41 seconds. The 1.94 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, G6 wins (3,80 s vs 5,75 s).
G6 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,80 seconds (calibrated simulation).
