Lexus LS 430

The Lexus LS 430 reaches 60 mph in 6.56 s (100 km/h in 6.89 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.85 s, tripping the lights at 96.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.42 s and the eighth mile in 9.66 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 LS 430

The 2004 Lexus LS 430 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,840 kg with 278 bhp, which works out at 151 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 151 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.42 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,963rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 53rd quickest of the 112 Lexuss here. Its 96.9 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 LS 430 0-60 time?
The Lexus LS 430 reaches 60 mph in 6.56 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,963rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lexus LS 430 quarter mile time?
14.85 s at 96.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.66 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.42 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lexus LS 430 have?
278 bhp and 1,840 kg, which is 151 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 250 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lexus LS 430?
Closest here on pace: Buick LaCrosse 3.6 V6 284 (6.42 s), Audi A4 2.0T S-line (6.44 s), Volvo C30 T5 230 PS (6.45 s). Each one can be raced against the Lexus LS 430 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 430 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.
