Off the line, the 718 Boxster hits 100 km/h in 4.65 s versus 5.63 s for the F-TYPE P300. At this point, the 718 Boxster leads by 0.98 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 718 Boxster is doing 147 km/h against 140 km/h for the F-TYPE P300. The gap is 0.74 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 718 Boxster crosses the line in 12.76 s versus 13.69 s. The 0.93 s gap represents roughly 45 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 718 Boxster continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 204 km/h versus 197 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 718 Boxster finishes in 23.08 s versus 24.35 s, with a 1.27 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the F-TYPE P300 is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the 718 Boxster at 274 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.32 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 8.14 seconds. The 0.98 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
