its IAA guide... most likely wrong.

European mags said before than GS250 will have 250hp (GS450h having 360), i dont see how can they do 250hp there... i can see 220-230 happening with D4-S though.

Default gs450h = 450hp

will i think this is true because lexus cancelled the gs460, now the 550i bmw have 407 hp so lexus have to make a car to compete with 550i, and if the gs450h will have 350hp it will never have a chance to compete with this bmw.so my guess is that a 450hp is possible, and then lexus will make all of its cars with more horsepower to compete with the germans. lets hope this is right...

The current 5.0 V-8 in the LS 600h L with hybrid power makes 438hp. So unless the GS 450h gets the 5.0 V-8, then 450hp from the V-6 and hybrid power just isn't reasonable.

Porsche's Panamera hybrid makes 380hp and 330 or so of it is from the supercharged V-6...

The hybrid power is never the main energy source overall, it adds to whatever power the engine has.

Since the car is still called the GS 450h, we know its NOT the 5.0 V-8. It is still the 3.5 V-6. I'm betting 350hp and 450hp was a typo.

So now we know the whole 450hp thing wasn't a typo, but just a purely made-up number. I'm now predicting 204hp for the GS250.

I just looked at toyota press room. They have the total horsepower at 338 hp. But 450 hp does sound nice!

It's already been made official that the 2013 GS450h will have 2 less hp than its predecessor.
