Wish it would have been 471 - 475 HP as earlier leaked JDM/Euro brochures showed. Just sounds nicer, but oh well!

Or you can just say...

More than 450 HP and less than 470 HP

It's not Official until its "Lexus Official"

Bottom line it's a retuned and updated 2UR-GSE.. Soo they are bumping the power on an existing motor designation.

Some of the journalist bloggers are tweeting / posting out some info from the press event...

Most if it is irrelevant until the press release goes LIVE next week.

Is the final HP number in-line with what we have seen so far? Thanks.

well seems like a lot of posts point to the same number already, so you be the judge

imho, it's a great number for this car. the car is going against (or treated by public) amg and m. i think this is a going to be a good fight

467 has been tweeted/mentioned by a few of the journalists attending the event on Instagram/Twitter, so I'm confident that came from Lexus since they're all at press driving events. I'd like to know the torque number and final weight now... but doubt we'll have that slip out before 9/4.
