Off the line, the Boxster Spyder hits 100 km/h in 4.75 s versus 4.99 s for the Boxster Spyder. At this point, the Boxster Spyder leads by 0.24 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Boxster Spyder is doing 148 km/h against 146 km/h for the Boxster Spyder. The gap is 0.23 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Boxster Spyder crosses the line in 12.80 s versus 13.04 s. The 0.23 s gap represents roughly 12 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Boxster Spyder continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 206 km/h versus 207 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Boxster Spyder finishes in 22.97 s versus 23.27 s, with a 0.29 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (266 vs 272 km/h), preventing any comeback.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.94 kg/hp vs 3.98 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.16 seconds. The 0.24 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Boxster Spyder wins (4,75 s vs 4,99 s).
Boxster Spyder goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,99 seconds (calibrated simulation).
