Lexus GS 300 220

The Lexus GS 300 220 reaches 60 mph in 6.91 s (100 km/h in 7.24 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.41 s, tripping the lights at 93.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.68 s and the eighth mile in 10.14 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 GS 300 220

The 2001 Lexus GS 300 220 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,670 kg with 217 bhp, which works out at 130 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 130 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.68 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,488th quickest to 60 mph, and the 66th quickest of the 112 Lexuss here. Its 93.2 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.

Questions

What is the Lexus GS 300 220 0-60 time?
The Lexus GS 300 220 reaches 60 mph in 6.91 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,488th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lexus GS 300 220 quarter mile time?
15.41 s at 93.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.14 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.68 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lexus GS 300 220 have?
217 bhp and 1,670 kg, which is 130 bhp per tonne. It is rear-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 GS 300 220?
Closest here on pace: Audi A4 3.0 TDI quattro 204 Auto (6.93 s), Audi A4 2.0 TDI ultra 190 Auto (6.95 s), VW Arteon 2.0 TSI 190 (6.94 s). Each one can be raced against the Lexus GS 300 220 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 GS 300 220 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.
