380 horsepower / 370 ft-lb, the LS430 its 290 hp / 320 ft-lb. If you calculate should be like 380 horsepower / 419 ft-lb.
Anyone know why they took off like 50+ ft-lb of torque?
If they did this too the LS460, they for sure will take off a nice chunk from the LS600h.

LS600h will have a huge amount of torque thanks to it's electric motors. The 4.6L V8 is a new engine design where HP and torque are more balanced.

Torque is more or less proportional to engine size and 370ft-lb is very impressive for a small V8(4.6L). The hp has shot up to 380 mainly thanks to direct injection and high rpm. Thats why hp is higher than tq.
