Off the line, the X9 hits 100 km/h in 3.88 s versus 4.14 s for the 911 Carrera S (PDK). The instant torque of 717 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. The 0.26 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the X9 is doing 173 km/h against 156 km/h for the 911 Carrera S (PDK). The gap is 0.39 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the X9 crosses the line in 11.34 s versus 12.09 s. The 0.75 s gap represents roughly 40 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The X9 maxes out at 200 km/h while the 911 Carrera S (PDK) keeps accelerating towards 297 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.65 s.
Around 883 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the 911 Carrera S (PDK) overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 97 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera S (PDK) finishes in 21.76 s versus 22.13 s. The 0.37 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the X9 is capped at 200 km/h, the 911 Carrera S (PDK) at 300 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 6.01 seconds. The 0.26 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, X9 wins (3,88 s vs 4,14 s).
X9 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,88 seconds (calibrated simulation).
