Will the regular 05' have 270 hp
In the press release for the Hybrid, it states 270 hp. Does anyone know if this will also be for the non-hybrid model too? Will this be available in the September release?

My thought is that the motor only works on the bottom end such that there are no benefits to the motor on the top end. The only power would be coming from the engine. Seems like the 270 hp would be all engine.

It's 230 HP plus 40 HP from the electric motor for the North American version. The RX400h here will have the same 3.3L V6 making 230 HP. (Asia and Europe get the same old 3.0L V6.)
During hard acceleration, the electric motor will work together with the V6, giving V8-like power. The electric motor will also kick in during incline.
