Off the line, the F-TYPE R P575 hits 100 km/h in 3.74 s versus 4.87 s for the Boxster S PDK. At this point, the F-TYPE R P575 leads by 1.13 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 is doing 165 km/h against 147 km/h for the Boxster S PDK. The gap is 0.91 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the F-TYPE R P575 crosses the line in 11.52 s versus 12.91 s. The 1.39 s gap represents roughly 68 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 230 km/h versus 204 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 finishes in 20.70 s versus 23.23 s, with a 2.53 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the F-TYPE R P575 is capped at 300 km/h, the Boxster S PDK at 272 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 (3.03 kg/hp vs 4.39 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.07 seconds. The 1.13 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, F-TYPE R P575 wins (3,74 s vs 4,87 s).
F-TYPE R P575 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,74 seconds (calibrated simulation).
