Lexus ES 300h eCVT 218

The Lexus ES 300h eCVT 218 reaches 60 mph in 7.51 s (100 km/h in 8.04 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.95 s, tripping the lights at 84.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.41 s and the eighth mile in 10.13 s.

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

About the ES 300h eCVT 218

The 2018 Lexus ES 300h eCVT 218 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,660 kg with 176 bhp, which works out at 106 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.41 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,574th quickest to 60 mph, and the 83rd quickest of the 112 Lexuss here. It leaves better than it pulls: 84.0 mph at the lights is only the 7,824th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Lexus ES 300h eCVT 218 0-60 time?
The Lexus ES 300h eCVT 218 reaches 60 mph in 7.51 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,574th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lexus ES 300h eCVT 218 quarter mile time?
15.95 s at 84.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.13 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.41 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lexus ES 300h eCVT 218 have?
176 bhp and 1,660 kg, which is 106 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 1 gears and a quoted top speed of 180 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lexus ES 300h eCVT 218?
Closest here on pace: VW CC 2.0 TDI 177 (7.54 s), Buick Regal 2.4 185 (7.51 s), Mazda 6/Atenza Sedan 2.2 D 175 (7.56 s). Each one can be raced against the Lexus ES 300h eCVT 218 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Lexus ES 300h eCVT 218 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
