RX reveal possible 6th gen power levels?

[Bilbo]

The 300 HP is the combined hybrid output.

"As a full hybrid, the RX 450h can operate in electric-only or gas-engine-only modes as well as a mode that combines the power of both."

"The gas engine alone [3.5-liter V6 Atkinson-cycle engine] produces 245 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 234 lb.-ft. torque at 4,800 rpm."

From the Lexus pressroom:
RX 450h Hybrid Luxury Utility Vehicle With EPA-Estimated Rating of 30 MPG Combined | Lexus

Edit. Uh oh. A 2011 press release - out of date.

That's a 3.5 year old press release. The link in the first post states the RX 350 will put out 300 hp from the 3.5l engine itself.

you might not want to quote a 2011 press release on a 2016 new vehicle release. below is the specs on the new engine from the current press release.

Under the RX 350’s hood is an upgraded and more powerful 3.5-liter V6 aiming to deliver 300 hp with direct injection, mated to a new eight-speed automatic transmission. Based on this enhanced powertrain is the RX 450h’s Atkinson-cycle 3.5-liter V6. When combined with the electric motor generator, the combined output results in around 300 hp. All RX engines have been tuned in anticipation of high fuel economy ratings and low carbon emissions.

both the NA v6 and Hybrid put out 300 hp.

Well, that's for sure. Don't even know how I got back to a 2011 press release since I was just poking around the Lexus pressroom, not some third-party sites.

it might be caused to popularity of the article when that model engine first came out, so the google ranking on that page might have been higher than the current press release.
