Porsche 718 Boxster vs Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS 3.0 480

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS 3.0 480 is the quicker car, covering it in 11.20 s at 121.4 mph against the Porsche 718 Boxster’s 12.92 s — a margin of 1.72 s. To 60 mph the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS 3.0 480 takes 2.86 s and the Porsche 718 Boxster 4.30 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Porsche 718 Boxster or the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS 3.0 480 faster?
The Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS 3.0 480. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 11.20 s to the Porsche 718 Boxster's 12.92 s, a margin of 1.72 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 2.86 s against 4.30 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Porsche 718 Boxster 0-60 time?
The Porsche 718 Boxster reaches 60 mph in 4.30 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.92 s at 107.6 mph.
What is the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS 3.0 480 0-60 time?
The Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS 3.0 480 reaches 60 mph in 2.86 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 11.20 s at 121.4 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Porsche 718 Boxster trips the lights at 107.6 mph and the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS 3.0 480 at 121.4 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 10 for the Porsche 718 Boxster and 2 of 2 for the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS 3.0 480. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
