Porsche 718 Boxster vs Porsche Carrera GT

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Porsche Carrera GT is the quicker car, covering it in 11.21 s at 132.1 mph against the Porsche 718 Boxster’s 12.92 s — a margin of 1.71 s. To 60 mph the Porsche Carrera GT takes 3.42 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 Carrera GT faster?
The Porsche Carrera GT. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 11.21 s to the Porsche 718 Boxster's 12.92 s, a margin of 1.71 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.42 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 Carrera GT 0-60 time?
The Porsche Carrera GT reaches 60 mph in 3.42 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 11.21 s at 132.1 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Porsche 718 Boxster trips the lights at 107.6 mph and the Porsche Carrera GT at 132.1 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 10 of 11 for the Porsche Carrera GT. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
