Off the line, the 911 Carrera T PDK hits 100 km/h in 4.05 s versus 4.65 s for the 718 Boxster. At this point, the 911 Carrera T PDK leads by 0.59 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera T PDK is doing 157 km/h against 147 km/h for the 718 Boxster. The gap is 0.48 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera T PDK crosses the line in 11.99 s versus 12.76 s. The 0.76 s gap represents roughly 38 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera T PDK continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 219 km/h versus 204 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera T PDK finishes in 21.58 s versus 23.08 s, with a 1.50 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera T PDK is capped at 290 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 (4.19 kg/hp vs 4.45 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.84 seconds. The 0.59 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.
