Off the line, the Boxster PDK hits 100 km/h in 5.46 s versus 5.72 s for the Boxster. At this point, the Boxster PDK leads by 0.26 s and sits roughly 1 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Boxster PDK is doing 137 km/h against 132 km/h for the Boxster. The gap is 0.21 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Boxster PDK crosses the line in 13.59 s versus 13.99 s. The 0.40 s gap represents roughly 18 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Boxster PDK continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 193 km/h versus 187 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Boxster PDK finishes in 24.54 s versus 25.24 s, with a 0.71 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (244 vs 258 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Boxster and the Boxster PDK are governed to 262 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.15 kg/hp vs 5.27 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.00 seconds. The 0.26 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
