718 Boxster GTS vs Grandland Plug-in Hybrid 300 AWD: chronicle of a drag race at 290 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the 718 Boxster GTS hits 100 km/h in 4.47 s versus 6.09 s for the Grandland Plug-in Hybrid 300 AWD. At this point, the 718 Boxster GTS leads by 1.63 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the 718 Boxster GTS is doing 155 km/h against 131 km/h for the Grandland Plug-in Hybrid 300 AWD. The gap is 1.24 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 718 Boxster GTS crosses the line in 12.32 s versus 14.32 s. The 2.00 s gap represents roughly 87 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the 718 Boxster GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 217 km/h versus 181 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 718 Boxster GTS finishes in 21.96 s versus 25.93 s, with a 3.97 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 290 km/h, the 718 Boxster GTS 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 (3.77 kg/hp vs 6.10 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.31 seconds. The 1.63 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche 718 Boxster GTS has a clear edge over the Opel Grandland Plug-in Hybrid 300 AWD to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
