Lexus IS 200 155

The Lexus IS 200 155 reaches 60 mph in 8.64 s (100 km/h in 9.12 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.69 s, tripping the lights at 85.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.69 s and the eighth mile in 10.82 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 IS 200 155

The 1998 Lexus IS 200 155 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,355 kg with 153 bhp, which works out at 113 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 113 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.69 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 7,773rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 108th quickest of the 112 Lexuss here. Its 85.3 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 IS 200 155 0-60 time?
The Lexus IS 200 155 reaches 60 mph in 8.64 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,773rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lexus IS 200 155 quarter mile time?
16.69 s at 85.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.82 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.69 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lexus IS 200 155 have?
153 bhp and 1,355 kg, which is 113 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 215 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lexus IS 200 155?
Closest here on pace: Alfa Romeo 33 1.7 107 (8.65 s), Alfa Romeo 75 1.8 120 (8.65 s), Opel Corsa 3dr 1.6 16V 106 (8.65 s). Each one can be raced against the Lexus IS 200 155 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 IS 200 155 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.
