Off the line, the A110 S 292 hits 100 km/h in 3.93 s versus 3.98 s for the 718 Boxster GTS PDK. The 0.05 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the 718 Boxster GTS PDK is doing 159 km/h against 154 km/h for the A110 S 292. The gap is 0.04 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 718 Boxster GTS PDK crosses the line in 11.88 s versus 12.08 s. The 0.20 s gap represents roughly 11 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 718 Boxster GTS PDK continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 221 km/h versus 210 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 718 Boxster GTS PDK finishes in 21.39 s versus 22.15 s, with a 0.76 s lead.
Electronically capped at 290 km/h, the 718 Boxster GTS PDK 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 (3.85 kg/hp vs 3.76 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.94 seconds. The 0.05 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
