Lexus GS F sightings (updated pg 20)

I wonder if the technical showpiece of the GS-F ( and its secret weapon in its bid to take the fight to M5/E63/RS6) won't be the 500 hp engine ( which is undergunned vs the 560-600 hp Germans ) but some miracle of lightweight chassis engineering that Lexus is secretly introducing.
Such that even with 500 hp, the GS-F would still have a favorable power-weight ratio and thus keep up with the Germans in 0-60, 1/4 mile and in the turns, its lighter weight would allow it to shine out as the better driver's/handling car.

Was hoping for wider fenders to help separate it from the f sport. Also, hoping for the base of the spindle to be not as flared as the rcf. Like others have stated, the aggressive front might not match the rest of the body. Keeping the spindle shape more subdue like the LS would retain more of classy but yet sporty feel IMO. Heck, keep the same shape as the f sport but make it a full spindle.

i wouldnt be surprised if they just put new fenders front and back to standard GS (for testing purposes)...

I was hoping that the GS F would debut in refreshed GS form, with what I assume will be full spindle, separate DRLs, revisions to exterior and interior, etc.
They could obviously be testing the car in the current body, and plan to change it for production, but depending on when they are going to show it to the public, it goes one of two ways:
1) GS F is in the current GS body for one model year (disappointing with a refresh just around the corner).
2) The GS F is part of a GS refresh announcement that includes GS 200t and several mid-cycle upgrades.
I am hoping for the latter.
