Lexus IS 250

The Lexus IS 250 reaches 60 mph in 7.06 s (100 km/h in 7.47 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.48 s, tripping the lights at 91.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.53 s and the eighth mile in 10.02 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 250

The 2006 Lexus IS 250 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,570 kg with 205 bhp, which works out at 131 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 131 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.53 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,771st quickest to 60 mph, and the 72nd quickest of the 112 Lexuss here. Its 91.1 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 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Lexus IS 250 0-60 time?
The Lexus IS 250 reaches 60 mph in 7.06 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,771st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lexus IS 250 quarter mile time?
15.48 s at 91.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.02 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.53 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lexus IS 250 have?
205 bhp and 1,570 kg, which is 131 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 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 IS 250?
Closest here on pace: Isuzu Impuse RS (7.01 s), Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4 TB MultiAir 170 (2010) (7.07 s), Fiat 595C Abarth 1.4 145 (7.02 s). Each one can be raced against the Lexus IS 250 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 250 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 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.
