Lexus RX 300 V6 220

The Lexus RX 300 V6 220 reaches 60 mph in 8.02 s (100 km/h in 8.45 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.43 s, tripping the lights at 86.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.86 s and the eighth mile in 10.75 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 RX 300 V6 220

The 1998 Lexus RX 300 V6 220 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,830 kg with 217 bhp, which works out at 119 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.86 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 6,552nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 96th quickest of the 112 Lexuss here. Its 86.8 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 RX 300 V6 220 0-60 time?
The Lexus RX 300 V6 220 reaches 60 mph in 8.02 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,552nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lexus RX 300 V6 220 quarter mile time?
16.43 s at 86.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.75 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.86 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lexus RX 300 V6 220 have?
217 bhp and 1,830 kg, which is 119 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 180 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lexus RX 300 V6 220?
Closest here on pace: Ford Escape 3.0i 203 (7.98 s), Peugeot 3008 2.0 BlueHDi 180 (8.00 s), BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh (8.02 s). Each one can be raced against the Lexus RX 300 V6 220 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 RX 300 V6 220 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.
