Off the line, the A110 Pure 252 hits 100 km/h in 4.56 s versus 4.94 s for the Boxster S. At this point, the A110 Pure 252 leads by 0.39 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A110 Pure 252 is doing 151 km/h against 145 km/h for the Boxster S. The gap is 0.24 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 13.01 s. The 0.40 s gap represents roughly 20 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the A110 Pure 252 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 209 km/h versus 202 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 Pure 252 finishes in 22.69 s versus 23.47 s, with a 0.78 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (273 vs 277 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 4.31 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 0.39 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
