Off the line, the A110 Pure 252 hits 100 km/h in 4.56 s versus 5.71 s for the Boxster. At this point, the A110 Pure 252 leads by 1.16 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A110 Pure 252 is doing 151 km/h against 134 km/h for the Boxster. The gap is 0.77 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the A110 Pure 252 crosses the line in 12.61 s versus 13.88 s. The 1.27 s gap represents roughly 58 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the A110 Pure 252 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 209 km/h versus 189 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 Pure 252 finishes in 22.69 s versus 25.03 s, with a 2.34 s lead.
Electronically capped at 261 km/h, the Boxster 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 (5.27 kg/hp vs 4.31 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.70 seconds. The 1.16 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
