Lexus LS 400 V8 245

The Lexus LS 400 V8 245 reaches 60 mph in 7.84 s (100 km/h in 8.16 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.07 s, tripping the lights at 96.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.82 s and the eighth mile in 10.89 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the LS 400 V8 245

The 1990 Lexus LS 400 V8 245 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,796 kg with 241 bhp, which works out at 134 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 134 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.82 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 6,192nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 94th quickest of the 112 Lexuss here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 96.0 mph, the 3,470th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Lexus LS 400 V8 245 0-60 time?
The Lexus LS 400 V8 245 reaches 60 mph in 7.84 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,192nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lexus LS 400 V8 245 quarter mile time?
16.07 s at 96.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.89 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.82 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lexus LS 400 V8 245 have?
241 bhp and 1,796 kg, which is 134 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 249 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lexus LS 400 V8 245?
Closest here on pace: Infiniti J30 3.0 V6 213 (7.77 s), Saab 9-3 Aero 2.0 220 (7.76 s), Bentley Turbo R (7.77 s). Each one can be raced against the Lexus LS 400 V8 245 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 LS 400 V8 245 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.
