Rx330driver Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 This might have been already posted because i dont usually visit this forum. I know lexus bases their model numbers on the engine size, liters. The old IS300 was a 3 liter and had horsepower in the high twenties or low thirties. The new 250 version is 2.5 liter with like 201? horsepower. Does anyone know the acceleration time for the two because you never know if theres some technology that helps the accel. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 (edited) These times are from different sources, but should give a relative idea for comparison. 0 to 60MPH times in seconds. IS300 Manual = 6.8 IS300 Auto = 7.3 IS250 2WD Auto = 7.9 IS350 = 5.3 Edited January 22, 2006 by bartkat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
