Off the line, the 911 GT3 RS hits 100 km/h in 3.26 s versus 4.75 s for the Boxster Spyder. At this point, the 911 GT3 RS leads by 1.48 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 GT3 RS is doing 169 km/h against 148 km/h for the Boxster Spyder. The gap is 1.26 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 GT3 RS crosses the line in 11.02 s versus 12.80 s. The 1.78 s gap represents roughly 88 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 GT3 RS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 235 km/h versus 206 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 GT3 RS finishes in 19.95 s versus 22.97 s, with a 3.03 s lead.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (2.80 kg/hp vs 3.98 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.05 seconds. The 1.48 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 GT3 RS 991.2 wins (3,26 s vs 4,75 s).
