Good. I personally hate the recent trend of officially leaking a vehicle a week or two before its public debut at the auto shows. Builds up anticipation.

The 2UR-GSE already has a Mt Fuji looking torque curve.

505 Nm Torque is same as saying: 371 ft lb Torque @5,200 Rpm

did we get any info on torque or just HP? If they are expanding the redline, then torque wont change substantially.

Expect at least 108.57 N.m / Litre like the IS350

Which turns out to be 543Nm which is an amazing accomplishment from a relatively small 5.0L V8
