Lexus ES 330 V6 228

The Lexus ES 330 V6 228 reaches 60 mph in 6.52 s (100 km/h in 6.84 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.03 s, tripping the lights at 96.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.65 s and the eighth mile in 9.92 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 330 V6 228

The 2002 Lexus ES 330 V6 228 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,575 kg with 225 bhp, which works out at 143 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.65 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 3,916th quickest to 60 mph, and the 52nd quickest of the 112 Lexuss here. Its 96.6 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Lexus ES 330 V6 228 0-60 time?
The Lexus ES 330 V6 228 reaches 60 mph in 6.52 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,916th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lexus ES 330 V6 228 quarter mile time?
15.03 s at 96.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.92 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.65 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lexus ES 330 V6 228 have?
225 bhp and 1,575 kg, which is 143 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 230 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lexus ES 330 V6 228?
Closest here on pace: Mercury Milan 3.0 V6 Flex Fuel 250 (6.51 s), Mercury Milan 3.0 V6 110 (6.60 s), Cadillac DTS 4.6 V8 279 (6.43 s). Each one can be raced against the Lexus ES 330 V6 228 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 330 V6 228 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.
