I"m going with an educated guess that the Lexus, like so many modern, ECU-equipped vehicles, uses a throttle-by-wire setup to control the throttle control unit.
I would say that with WOT and a full head of steam, it would take a while to slow a vehicle down with just the foot brakes. Moreso, if the driver panics.
