Off the line, the 2019 911 GT3 RS hits 100 km/h in 3.08 s versus 5.60 s for the Boxster. At this point, the 2019 911 GT3 RS leads by 2.52 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 2019 911 GT3 RS is doing 173 km/h against 134 km/h for the Boxster. The gap is 2.01 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 2019 911 GT3 RS crosses the line in 10.77 s versus 13.86 s. The 3.09 s gap represents roughly 134 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 2019 911 GT3 RS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 238 km/h versus 185 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 2019 911 GT3 RS finishes in 19.59 s versus 25.21 s, with a 5.61 s lead.
Electronically capped at 262 km/h, the Boxster 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 (2.71 kg/hp vs 5.15 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.61 seconds. The 2.52 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 2019 911 GT3 RS 992 wins (3,08 s vs 5,60 s).
