Frequently asked questions

Porsche Boxster S: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Among the 47 S 2010–2014, the Boxster S ranks 45th of 47 in 0–100 km/h (5.1 s, behind the Lamborghini Aventador LP700), 40th of 47 in Top speed (274 km/h, behind the Lamborghini Aventador LP700), 41th of 47 in Power-to-weight (232 hp/t, behind the Lamborghini Aventador LP700).

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

The Lamborghini Aventador LP700 leads in 0–100 km/h (2.9 s vs 5.1 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the Boxster S vs Lamborghini Aventador LP700 duel for a detailed comparison.

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
