Off the line, the A110 GT 300 hits 100 km/h in 3.92 s versus 4.94 s for the Boxster S. At this point, the A110 GT 300 leads by 1.03 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A110 GT 300 is doing 157 km/h against 145 km/h for the Boxster S. The gap is 0.74 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the A110 GT 300 crosses the line in 11.96 s versus 13.01 s. The 1.05 s gap represents roughly 51 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the A110 GT 300 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 215 km/h versus 202 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 GT 300 finishes in 21.76 s versus 23.47 s, with a 1.71 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (273 vs 272 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 279 km/h, the Boxster S 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 (4.14 kg/hp vs 3.65 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.23 seconds. The 1.03 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
