Lexus IS 220d 177

The Lexus IS 220d 177 reaches 60 mph in 8.25 s (100 km/h in 8.80 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.39 s, tripping the lights at 84.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.51 s and the eighth mile in 10.50 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 220d 177

The 1998 Lexus IS 220d 177 is a rear-drive turbodiesel car of 1,475 kg with 174 bhp, which works out at 118 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 118 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.51 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 7,015th quickest to 60 mph, and the 103rd quickest of the 112 Lexuss here. Its 84.3 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 220d 177 0-60 time?
The Lexus IS 220d 177 reaches 60 mph in 8.25 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,015th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lexus IS 220d 177 quarter mile time?
16.39 s at 84.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.50 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.51 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lexus IS 220d 177 have?
174 bhp and 1,475 kg, which is 118 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 216 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lexus IS 220d 177?
Closest here on pace: Citroen Visa 1.6 105 (8.28 s), Suzuki Swift Sport 1.4 Boosterjet 129 (8.22 s), Hyundai Elantra 4dr 2.0i 141 (8.28 s). Each one can be raced against the Lexus IS 220d 177 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 220d 177 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.
