Off the line, the F-TYPE P300 hits 100 km/h in 5.63 s versus 5.65 s for the Boxster. The 0.03 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Boxster is doing 136 km/h against 140 km/h for the F-TYPE P300. The gap is 0.07 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the F-TYPE P300 crosses the line in 13.69 s versus 13.74 s. The 0.06 s gap represents roughly 3 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the F-TYPE P300 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 197 km/h versus 191 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F-TYPE P300 finishes in 24.35 s versus 24.75 s, with a 0.40 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) vs 254 km/h), preventing any comeback.
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 Boxster at 264 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 4.87 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.41 seconds. The 0.03 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, F-TYPE P300 and Boxster are neck and neck (5,63 s vs 5,65 s, no significant gap).
F-TYPE P300 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,63 seconds (calibrated simulation).
