Off the line, the Boxster S PDK hits 100 km/h in 4.87 s versus 5.63 s for the F-TYPE P300. At this point, the Boxster S PDK leads by 0.75 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Boxster S PDK is doing 147 km/h against 140 km/h for the F-TYPE P300. The gap is 0.59 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Boxster S PDK crosses the line in 12.91 s versus 13.69 s. The 0.78 s gap represents roughly 37 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Boxster S PDK continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 204 km/h versus 197 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Boxster S PDK finishes in 23.23 s versus 24.35 s, with a 1.12 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Boxster S PDK is capped at 272 km/h, the F-TYPE P300 at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.39 kg/hp vs 5.32 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.14 seconds. The 0.75 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Boxster S PDK 987 wins (4,87 s vs 5,63 s).
Boxster S PDK 987 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,87 seconds (calibrated simulation).
