Off the line, the GR Supra 2.0 hits 100 km/h in 5.28 s versus 5.60 s for the Boxster. At this point, the GR Supra 2.0 leads by 0.32 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the GR Supra 2.0 is doing 137 km/h against 134 km/h for the Boxster. The gap is 0.23 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the GR Supra 2.0 crosses the line in 13.52 s versus 13.86 s. The 0.34 s gap represents roughly 16 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the GR Supra 2.0 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 191 km/h versus 185 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the GR Supra 2.0 finishes in 24.51 s versus 25.21 s, with a 0.69 s lead.
Electronically capped at 262 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 (5.15 kg/hp vs 5.79 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.61 seconds. The 0.32 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
