seems like text says it has Atkinson cycle... also 12hp more than previous japanese rating.

Current rating is 383hp so up to 395hp. A little disappointed the flagship SUV has not crested 400hp yet 0.o

Still a lavish and capable ute though.

3 more engines left to launch in 2015 Hoovey (out of 14 mentioned last year).

3.5l GR
5.7l UR
1.5l HSD

Good guesses? If this UR is not new engine with VVT-iE then 3.0l GR? But above seems to be the list.

at least better than the "increase" in ls460 hp

They're probably trying to balance out the fuel economy, since power wasn't the issue......

What is there to balance out? The current LX get 12/17 and the LC 13/18. You not going to get much better than what they have already, that is assuming that the 5.7 carrysover and gets a HP boost.

Some more info...

4.0 v6 LC = 6 speed ( auto ) i assume the manual will also be 6 speed now?

4.6 v8 LC = 8 Speed

5.7 V8 LC = 8 Speed


currently the v6 is a 5 speed and v8 6 speed.

spwolf

Hmm... Maybe 4.0l and 4.6l won't be significantly updated since we have 3 engines left out of 14 updated ones until end of the year.. And we know of 3.5l and Prius still to come... So one more unknown .

definition of crazy - wanting a manual on an LC/LX

It seems lexus can't incorporate the spindle nose without a big front overhang.

Go offroading and you'll return home without a front bumper.

Look at that overhang compared to the landcruiser.

Toys4RJill

I highly doubt there are many people who actually take the current 570 off road. And from the looks of the brochure that is leaked, it appears Lexus is going to go in a different direction in regards to the marketing of the 16 LX. I doubt we are going to see off roading ads etc etc.

It says 277kW and 534NM. That would come out to around 37x hp and 394ft-lb of torque

Toys4RJill

It's probably the non US version that is under 400hp. The current version already has 400+ ft lbs as it is.

Oh my. Always loved the Land Cruiser (parents owned one new in 1997).

That front is funky.. Just like most Japanese cars now..

The longer nose is part of the spindle grill look.
