Off the line, the M2 hits 100 km/h in 4.12 s versus 4.16 s for the 718 Boxster S. The 0.04 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the M2 is doing 155 km/h against 157 km/h for the 718 Boxster S. The gap is 0.02 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 718 Boxster S crosses the line in 12.06 s versus 12.08 s. The 0.02 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Past 400 metres, nothing changes. Same ceiling, same acceleration, same trajectory — both rivals run in formation to the line. The 0.11 s gap at 1,000 metres confirms what the specs already suggested: on track, they’re interchangeable. The real contest happens elsewhere — range, comfort, charging network reliability.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the M2 and the 718 Boxster S are governed to 285 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 combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.76 kg/hp vs 3.87 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.94 seconds. The 0.04 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
