Model Y Long Range AWD vs Boxster Spyder: chronicle of a drag race at 266 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Boxster Spyder hits 100 km/h in 4.99 s versus 5.05 s for the Model Y Long Range AWD. Despite lacking instant torque, 324 hp of power compensates. The 0.06 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Boxster Spyder is doing 146 km/h against 143 km/h for the Model Y Long Range AWD. The gap is 0.03 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Boxster Spyder crosses the line in 13.04 s versus 13.27 s. The 0.23 s gap represents roughly 11 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Boxster Spyder continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 207 km/h versus 197 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Boxster Spyder finishes in 23.27 s versus 23.97 s, with a 0.70 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 217 km/h, the Model Y Long Range AWD 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.41 seconds. The 0.06 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD and Porsche Boxster Spyder are virtually tied to 100 km/h. The gap is under a tenth of a second — only the physics engine can settle it step by step.
