I posted the above just to illustrate that the GS350 hp & torque should be very close to that of the IS350.
The following is from lexus.jp for the IS350 in Japan :

Once it it released in Sept, How long do you guys figure it will take for the GS350 to cool off enough for deep discounting, 6months-1year?

They did not post GS 460 estimates.

The fastest 0-60 time for the GS430 from any source is 5.7 sec., while some sources got 5.1, 5.2 sec. 0-60 for the IS350. I really expect the GS350 to perform slightly better than the GS430 . . .
As for the press release you mentioned, I don't really remember exactly, but maybe it's 0-100 kmph(=0-62 mph) in about 5.7 sec. ?
