Automatic - 3.5-liter V6 engine with 275 hp S N/A
6MT - 3.5-liter V6 engine with 293 hp N/A S

That's why the new sedan has under 310 and everyone said it would have~311-315 to be above the IS350. It's just numbers...

The next level of EPA restrictions begins then.
SAE-certified horsepower
In 2005, the Society of Automotive Engineers introduced a new test procedure (J2723) for engine horsepower and torque. The procedure eliminates some of the areas of flexibility in power measurement, and requires an independent observer present when engines are measured. The test is voluntary, but engines completing it can be advertised as "SAE-certified".
Many manufacturers began switching to the new rating immediately, often with surprising results. The rated output of Cadillac's supercharged Northstar V8 jumped from 440 hp (328 kW) to 469 hp (350 kW) under the new tests, while the rating for Toyota's Camry 3.0 L 1MZ-FE V6 fell from 210 hp (157 kW) to 190 hp (142 kW). The first engine certified under the new program was the 7.0 L LS7 used in the 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Certified power rose slightly from 500 hp (373 kW) to 505 hp (377 kW).

BTW both the 06 and 07 are Certified LEV2 (Low Emission Vehicle Tier 2).
