Off the line, the 812 Superfast hits 100 km/h in 2.93 s versus 4.65 s for the 718 Boxster. At this point, the 812 Superfast leads by 1.72 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 812 Superfast is doing 182 km/h against 147 km/h for the 718 Boxster. The gap is 1.58 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 812 Superfast crosses the line in 10.37 s versus 12.76 s. The 2.38 s gap represents roughly 115 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 812 Superfast continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 249 km/h versus 204 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 812 Superfast finishes in 18.81 s versus 23.08 s, with a 4.27 s lead.
Electronically capped at 274 km/h, the 718 Boxster 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 (1.91 kg/hp vs 4.45 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.84 seconds. The 1.72 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 812 Superfast wins (2,93 s vs 4,64 s).
812 Superfast goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 2,93 seconds (calibrated simulation).
