Off the line, the 718 Boxster GTS PDK hits 100 km/h in 3.98 s versus 4.52 s for the 911 Carrera Cab. At this point, the 718 Boxster GTS PDK leads by 0.53 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 718 Boxster GTS PDK is doing 159 km/h against 148 km/h for the 911 Carrera Cab. The gap is 0.46 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 12.62 s. The 0.73 s gap represents roughly 37 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 718 Boxster GTS PDK continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 221 km/h versus 208 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 718 Boxster GTS PDK finishes in 21.39 s versus 22.72 s, with a 1.33 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (290 vs 289 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the 718 Boxster GTS PDK and the 911 Carrera Cab are governed to 290 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.85 kg/hp vs 4.29 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.73 seconds. The 0.53 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 718 Boxster GTS PDK wins (3,98 s vs 4,51 s).
718 Boxster GTS PDK goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,98 seconds (calibrated simulation).
