Off the line, the Boxster Spyder hits 100 km/h in 4.59 s versus 5.63 s for the F-TYPE P300. At this point, the Boxster Spyder leads by 1.04 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Boxster Spyder is doing 154 km/h against 140 km/h for the F-TYPE P300. The gap is 0.87 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Boxster Spyder crosses the line in 12.41 s versus 13.69 s. The 1.28 s gap represents roughly 61 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 216 km/h versus 197 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Boxster Spyder finishes in 22.15 s versus 24.35 s, with a 2.20 s lead.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the F-TYPE P300 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 (3.51 kg/hp vs 5.32 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.14 seconds. The 1.04 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
