Lexus GS 300 V6 249

The Lexus GS 300 V6 249 reaches 60 mph in 6.50 s (100 km/h in 6.86 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.95 s, tripping the lights at 95.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.48 s and the eighth mile in 9.74 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 V6 249

The 2008 Lexus GS 300 V6 249 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,695 kg with 245 bhp, which works out at 145 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 145 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.48 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,900th quickest to 60 mph, and the 51st quickest of the 112 Lexuss here. Its 95.5 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 V6 249 0-60 time?
The Lexus GS 300 V6 249 reaches 60 mph in 6.50 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,900th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lexus GS 300 V6 249 quarter mile time?
14.95 s at 95.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.74 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.48 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lexus GS 300 V6 249 have?
245 bhp and 1,695 kg, which is 145 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 240 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lexus GS 300 V6 249?
Closest here on pace: Audi A4 2.0T S-line (6.44 s), Mercury Milan 3.0 V6 Flex Fuel 250 (6.51 s), Cadillac DTS 4.6 V8 279 (6.43 s). Each one can be raced against the Lexus GS 300 V6 249 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 V6 249 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
