Off the line, the A110 S 292 hits 100 km/h in 3.93 s versus 4.75 s for the Boxster Spyder. At this point, the A110 S 292 leads by 0.82 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A110 S 292 is doing 154 km/h against 148 km/h for the Boxster Spyder. The gap is 0.60 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the A110 S 292 crosses the line in 12.08 s versus 12.80 s. The 0.72 s gap represents roughly 37 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the A110 S 292 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 210 km/h versus 206 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 S 292 finishes in 22.15 s versus 22.97 s, with a 0.82 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (272 vs 264 km/h), preventing any comeback.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.98 kg/hp vs 3.76 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.05 seconds. The 0.82 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
