2007 Middle East G35 Sedan 327hp? wrong?

So I just called up the dealer to find out when the 07sedans are in for a possible trade in... he said next week and they come in with 327hp - automatic versions with navi extra... i haven't seen the 2007 models advertised with 327hp anywhere... is this possible?

this is the Middle East specs car...

I think the salesman has been smoking something he shouldn't be.

My guess is they are using the old SAE standards, new SAE horsepower ratings are more conservative/stricter.

I still think its bs. Aren't the Korean specs 315hp? I would think the same holds true for the Middle East market.

Im from Bahrain here (Middle East) WHat I know is that its 327 gross and 315 hp net. Its the same as the G35 released in Korea, lower SAE standards so more horse power.

I was so excited when Lexus offered the IS here in the Middle East and I was ready to buy an IS350 but we got screwed up and got the IS300 with a 3.0 liter engine and only 228 hp. Therefore, the plan has been changed and I started to look up other choices. After browsing this forum, reading reviews, and seeing a lot of pictures, I am waiting for the G35 to officially debut here in our market to buy one.

I usually don’t follow our misleading advertised HP numbers here in the ME, I just check the US HP figures for more accurate numbers. Some manufactures are using gross HP and other ways to advertise the highest possible figures here for the ME market.
