Off the line, the A110 S 292 hits 100 km/h in 3.93 s versus 5.07 s for the Boxster S. At this point, the A110 S 292 leads by 1.14 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A110 S 292 is doing 154 km/h against 143 km/h for the Boxster S. The gap is 0.81 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the A110 S 292 crosses the line in 12.08 s versus 13.18 s. The 1.10 s gap represents roughly 53 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the A110 S 292 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 210 km/h versus 199 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 S 292 finishes in 22.15 s versus 23.72 s, with a 1.56 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (272 vs 264 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 272 km/h, the Boxster S never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.39 kg/hp vs 3.76 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.54 seconds. The 1.14 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
