Off the line, the 911 Carrera Cab hits 100 km/h in 4.52 s versus 5.60 s for the Boxster. At this point, the 911 Carrera Cab leads by 1.09 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera Cab is doing 148 km/h against 134 km/h for the Boxster. The gap is 0.76 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera Cab crosses the line in 12.62 s versus 13.86 s. The 1.24 s gap represents roughly 56 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera Cab continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 208 km/h versus 185 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera Cab finishes in 22.72 s versus 25.21 s, with a 2.48 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera Cab is capped at 289 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 (4.29 kg/hp vs 5.15 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.61 seconds. The 1.09 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
