Off the line, the 911 Carrera T hits 100 km/h in 4.47 s versus 4.65 s for the 718 Boxster. At this point, the 911 Carrera T leads by 0.17 s and sits roughly 1 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera T is doing 153 km/h against 147 km/h for the 718 Boxster. The gap is 0.13 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera T crosses the line in 12.47 s versus 12.76 s. The 0.29 s gap represents roughly 15 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera T continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 216 km/h versus 204 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera T finishes in 22.25 s versus 23.08 s, with a 0.83 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera T is capped at 293 km/h, the 718 Boxster at 274 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 (4.13 kg/hp vs 4.45 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.84 seconds. The 0.17 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.
