Off the line, the A110 GT 300 hits 100 km/h in 3.92 s versus 4.16 s for the 718 Boxster S. At this point, the A110 GT 300 leads by 0.25 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A110 GT 300 is doing 157 km/h against 157 km/h for the 718 Boxster S. The gap is 0.12 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the A110 GT 300 crosses the line in 11.96 s versus 12.06 s. The 0.09 s gap represents roughly 5 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The A110 GT 300 maxes out at 272 km/h while the 718 Boxster S keeps accelerating towards 285 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.06 s.
Around 805 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the 718 Boxster S overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 13 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the 718 Boxster S finishes in 21.69 s versus 21.76 s. The 0.06 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Electronically capped at 285 km/h, the 718 Boxster S 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 (3.87 kg/hp vs 3.65 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.93 seconds. The 0.25 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
