Off the line, the 911 Carrera 4 (Manual) hits 100 km/h in 4.86 s versus 5.72 s for the Boxster. At this point, the 911 Carrera 4 (Manual) leads by 0.86 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 (Manual) is doing 144 km/h against 132 km/h for the Boxster. The gap is 0.61 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera 4 (Manual) crosses the line in 12.96 s versus 13.99 s. The 1.03 s gap represents roughly 47 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 (Manual) continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 205 km/h versus 187 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 (Manual) finishes in 23.25 s versus 25.24 s, with a 2.00 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera 4 (Manual) is capped at 284 km/h, the Boxster at 262 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.43 kg/hp vs 5.15 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.00 seconds. The 0.86 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
