Please! Only on private roads or test tracks! I hit 105 mph top so far. Wonder if the top speed of the car is limited by electronic cut off? It should go to about 150 mph in 5th gear if the 302 hp is enough power to get there.

Only 75 so far but that was in a school zone and it was snowing. I should be able to really stretch her legs out to top speed on that nice bit of bendy road between the retirement home and the day care center.

75 in a school zone - hmmmmmmm. Maybe save that for an interstate?

Safely reaching top speed is highly dependent on the tires the vehicle is equipped with, their inflation & the amount of cargo and passengers on-board. Make sure you have a solid understanding of these factors before attempting what can be fatal for you, any passengers as well as other road users. The owners manual

Top speed for the ES350 is rated at 131MPH.

Good one.

This is from the Lexus Specification Sheet:
Max. Speed

I've recorded myself driving at 221 km/m

But the top speed I did with my car was 234 km/h

Top speed in a grandpa car... good one

Hey! I resemble that remark.

signdetres

If true, for an ES350 to hit 234 km/h or 145 mph, you must've been going downhill and had a tailwind helping you out. Either that or Lexus top speed specs for US markets are electronically limited and based on your location, Saudi Arabia market cars do not have a top speed limiter. I'd be curious to find out more.

I like this thread.

What's the difference in top speed between the regular ES, F-Sport ES, and ES Hybrid?

nuraman00

That screen where it shows what gear it's in, is that only on F Sport cars?

Or is that on all 2019 ES models (regular, F Sport, Hybrid)?

mikemu30

I believe FSport only as I recall someone with a nonF asked me to post a pic of it and he said his didnt have that screen.

nuraman00

I test drove a F Sport. It seems that screen where it shows you the gear, is only available when changing gears in manual mode? It's not available when doing automatic transmission?

mikemu30

Its one of the screen options in FSport only. Displays current gear position and you need not be in manual mode.
