Porsche 718 Boxster vs Toyota MR2 Spyder Cabrio 1.8 VVT-i 140

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Porsche 718 Boxster is the quicker car, covering it in 12.92 s at 107.6 mph against the Toyota MR2 Spyder Cabrio 1.8 VVT-i 140’s 15.38 s — a margin of 2.47 s. To 60 mph the Porsche 718 Boxster takes 4.30 s and the Toyota MR2 Spyder Cabrio 1.8 VVT-i 140 6.70 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 Toyota MR2 Spyder Cabrio 1.8 VVT-i 140 faster?
The Porsche 718 Boxster. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 12.92 s to the Toyota MR2 Spyder Cabrio 1.8 VVT-i 140's 15.38 s, a margin of 2.47 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.30 s against 6.70 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 Toyota MR2 Spyder Cabrio 1.8 VVT-i 140 0-60 time?
The Toyota MR2 Spyder Cabrio 1.8 VVT-i 140 reaches 60 mph in 6.70 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.38 s at 92.6 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Porsche 718 Boxster trips the lights at 107.6 mph and the Toyota MR2 Spyder Cabrio 1.8 VVT-i 140 at 92.6 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 Toyota MR2 Spyder Cabrio 1.8 VVT-i 140. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
