It looked exactly like the prvious pics of all of the mules. The dead give away ( like Joe Z said) is the lowered stance, wide wheels and tires the bigger brakes, and the mesh wheels.

Editors' Page: 2014 Lexus GS
It turns out you can mix business with pleasure.
Before you even start the engine it's easy to appreciate the Lexus GS as a well-built, refined luxury sedan that practically oozes luxury. But once you fire it up, it's all about fun: the GS offers outstanding driving dynamics and an interior loaded with advanced technology. That mix ensures that what was once seen as an upstart consistently holds its own against rivals from Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi.
Behind the Wheel
From our full review: "The 2014 Lexus GS will bring big smiles to driving enthusiasts, with a level of handling response and capabilities that's more commonly associated with those time-honored sports-sedan nameplates."
Value Leader
The 2014 Lexus GS 350 boasts the highest predicted resale value among midsize luxury sedans, as well as the lowest 5-Year Cost to Own.
Build and Price
There are two choices in the GS line: the gas-powered 350 or the hybrid 450h. The least expensive GS 350 starts at just under $49,000. The GS 450h starts at a touch over $61,000, maxing out at about $79,000 when fully loaded. Build and price your own 2014 Lexus GS at KBB.com to unlock the Fair Purchase Price, 5-Year Cost to Own and more.
F is for Fun
Looking for a greater emphasis on performance? The GS 350 F Sport gets its own unique styling tweaks, plus Dynamic Rear Steering, Lexus Dynamic Handling and Adaptive Variable Suspension.
Owners' Opinions
The F Sport version doesn't actually offer more torque, but let's not tell KBB.com reader and Lexus GS owner Newarrior, who is nevertheless justified in loving his car: "Car is a head turner! I have Riviera Red w/black leather interior. Car is a joy to drive and F Sport option is a must for driving enthusiasts. The increased torque in F Sport sets engine apart from base GS. Before you go buy the A6, 5 Series BMW or Mercedes E, do yourself a favor and test-drive this car. You'll love it!." Read more Lexus GS consumer reviews.
Other Options
The 2014 Lexus GS is a great choice, but it's not the only car in the class worth investigating. Check out all the midsize luxury sedans competing for your big bucks.

Plus we were able to see the Larger mufflers with Dual Quad Tips..
Any chance you were able to visually make out the muffler tips behind the standard exhaust diffusers ??

PICS MADE LEXUS ENTHUSIAST.COM !!!!!
It may look like a roughed-up GS F SPORT, but there are a couple key details that suggest otherwise — the Michigan manufacturer plates and the proximity to the Toyota Arizona proving grounds are the first clues, but the lowered stance, larger brakes, duct tape on the side skirts, and the same BBS wheels seen on the German GS F prototype all point to a Lexus test mule of some description.
Still, the subtlety would be hard for most people to pick up — good on CL member I8ABMR for noticing. Here’s how it all happened:
I pulled up next to him and he had his windows down. I asked “Is that the new GSF?” He nodded yes and gave me a thumbs up. After I spotted it and he knew I knew, he started backing off BIG TIME.
He would stop 6 cars back at the lights when he was supposed to be next to me. At one point I was going to try to shoot pics from the sunroof.
