Off the line, the Boxster Spyder hits 100 km/h in 4.59 s versus 4.75 s for the Boxster Spyder. At this point, the Boxster Spyder leads by 0.16 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Boxster Spyder is doing 154 km/h against 148 km/h for the Boxster Spyder. The gap is 0.22 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Boxster Spyder crosses the line in 12.41 s versus 12.80 s. The 0.40 s gap represents roughly 20 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 216 km/h versus 206 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Boxster Spyder finishes in 22.15 s versus 22.97 s, with a 0.82 s lead.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.51 kg/hp vs 3.98 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.05 seconds. The 0.16 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Boxster Spyder wins (4,58 s vs 4,75 s).
Boxster Spyder goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,58 seconds (calibrated simulation).
