LOL
I will wait for the Official Lexus Press release within the next 3 days...
Remember European Magazines & Press already got seat time in the GS450 h prototypes...
We would have known by now if they felt 450 hp.
More than likely a typo and will carry the same current power output of 340 hp or a bump up to 350 hp..
I can't see the V6 motor with 306 hp plus electric motors, pushing out 450hp.

^That was my thought. Current GSh has 292hp V6 and 48hp from batteries. Even if the new V6 is bumped up a bit, 450hp is an extreme stretch.
Realistically, I think you'd have to have a ~375hp V6 and ~75hp in batteries to get 450hp, and I think both of those numbers are highly unlikely.
If Lexus can best the M35h in power and MPG, I will be content with that.
