Lexus SC 300 228

The Lexus SC 300 228 reaches 60 mph in 6.73 s (100 km/h in 7.04 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.20 s, tripping the lights at 94.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.65 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 SC 300 228

The 1991 Lexus SC 300 228 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,622 kg with 225 bhp, which works out at 139 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 139 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.65 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,209th quickest to 60 mph, and the 59th quickest of the 112 Lexuss here. Its 94.8 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 SC 300 228 0-60 time?
The Lexus SC 300 228 reaches 60 mph in 6.73 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,209th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lexus SC 300 228 quarter mile time?
15.20 s at 94.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.02 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.65 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lexus SC 300 228 have?
225 bhp and 1,622 kg, which is 139 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 235 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lexus SC 300 228?
Closest here on pace: Dodge Avenger 3.5 V6 238 (6.77 s), Saab 9000 CS 2.3 Turbo 200 (6.79 s), Lincoln MKS 3.7 V6 273 (6.68 s). Each one can be raced against the Lexus SC 300 228 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 SC 300 228 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.
