Lexus GS 300 222

The Lexus GS 300 222 reaches 60 mph in 7.47 s (100 km/h in 7.86 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.87 s, tripping the lights at 91.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.80 s and the eighth mile in 10.46 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 300 222

The 1998 Lexus GS 300 222 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,730 kg with 219 bhp, which works out at 126 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 126 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.80 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,516th quickest to 60 mph, and the 81st quickest of the 112 Lexuss here. Its 91.3 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 300 222 0-60 time?
The Lexus GS 300 222 reaches 60 mph in 7.47 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,516th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lexus GS 300 222 quarter mile time?
15.87 s at 91.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.46 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.80 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lexus GS 300 222 have?
219 bhp and 1,730 kg, which is 126 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 300 222?
Closest here on pace: Alfa Romeo GT 1.9 JTDm 170 (7.43 s), BMW 5 Series 520d 177 (7.50 s), Peugeot 408 1.6 THP 163 (7.51 s). Each one can be raced against the Lexus GS 300 222 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 300 222 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.
