The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the F-TYPE R P575 hits 100 km/h in 3.74 s versus 4.75 s for the Boxster Spyder. At this point, the F-TYPE R P575 leads by 1.01 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 is doing 165 km/h against 148 km/h for the Boxster Spyder. The gap is 0.86 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 12.80 s. The 1.28 s gap represents roughly 64 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 230 km/h versus 206 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 finishes in 20.70 s versus 22.97 s, with a 2.27 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Electronically capped at 300 km/h, the F-TYPE R P575 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 (3.03 kg/hp vs 3.98 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.05 seconds. The 1.01 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
