Combustion engine is 394 hp and electric machine 165kW = 224 hp
394 + 224 = 618 hp

I know, the battery is not strong enough for such a summary.

No. You are spot on. The throttle is very sensitive on this mode and when you let off the gas, the car seems as if it brakes a little..takes some getting used to, but in PWR mode and Sport suspension mode along with the drop at level 4..the car is just a beast and handles like a champ

Yeah..I do think the system actually doesn't handle the HP in that way..it blends the power but max to wheels or engine is 438HP..be fun to get it on an awd dyno

Believe it or not, the response with the controller is much much better as in power mode. That's why I mention it here. The LS600 feels like a wild animal and it is really fun to push the pedal down just to play with that 5 liter engine. I love it and have the controller always in plus plus plus mode.

All I need is the sound of that exhaust:


WOW, the LFA sound in a Lexus V8, a good reason to buy an ISF. Unfortunately the header of ISF and LS600 are not the same.

I thought the IS-F's 5.0L V8 was used for the 600? I just want an affordable SuperCharger and I can see myself keeping my car for another 5+ years

Thanks for the feedback! Time to make a video showing the difference. Before or after the Novel exhaust installation is the question:

Push the acceleration pedal down as far as it will go and she starts.
