Off the line, the 911 Carrera Cab hits 100 km/h in 4.52 s versus 4.75 s for the Boxster Spyder. At this point, the 911 Carrera Cab leads by 0.23 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera Cab is doing 148 km/h against 148 km/h for the Boxster Spyder. The gap is 0.18 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera Cab crosses the line in 12.62 s versus 12.80 s. The 0.19 s gap represents roughly 10 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera Cab continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 208 km/h versus 206 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera Cab finishes in 22.72 s versus 22.97 s, with a 0.25 s lead.
Electronically capped at 289 km/h, the 911 Carrera Cab 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 (4.29 kg/hp vs 3.98 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.05 seconds. The 0.23 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Carrera Cab 991.1 wins (4,51 s vs 4,75 s).
911 Carrera Cab 991.1 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,51 seconds (calibrated simulation).
