Off the line, the F-TYPE R P575 hits 100 km/h in 3.74 s versus 4.59 s for the Boxster Spyder. At this point, the F-TYPE R P575 leads by 0.85 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 is doing 165 km/h against 154 km/h for the Boxster Spyder. The gap is 0.64 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 12.41 s. The 0.89 s gap represents roughly 47 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 216 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 finishes in 20.70 s versus 22.15 s, with a 1.45 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (300 vs 288 km/h), preventing any comeback.
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 3.51 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.54 seconds. The 0.85 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 4,58 s).
F-TYPE R P575 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,74 seconds (calibrated simulation).
