Off the line, the Boxster Spyder hits 100 km/h in 4.75 s versus 6.54 s for the 225d Convertible. At this point, the Boxster Spyder leads by 1.80 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Boxster Spyder is doing 148 km/h against 127 km/h for the 225d Convertible. The gap is 1.21 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Boxster Spyder crosses the line in 12.80 s versus 14.76 s. The 1.96 s gap represents roughly 82 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Boxster Spyder continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 206 km/h versus 175 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Boxster Spyder finishes in 22.97 s versus 26.79 s, with a 3.82 s lead.
Electronically capped at 231 km/h, the 225d Convertible 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 (3.98 kg/hp vs 7.25 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.18 seconds. The 1.80 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
