They ARE making this thing closer to production ready!!!

"these photos don’t reveal much", it revealed a WHOLE LOT we never seen before!!

God I am excited!

1, The tacked on fender flares are now smoothed out, looks GREAT!
2, Added vent behind front wheels on fender flares.
3, Brembos carbon ceramic brakes (this one is bad, I don't want this on my daily, hope there will be a steel rotor option)
4, The tacked on spoilder is also smoothed out.
5, BBS F1 wheels (seen before)
6, Carbon roof panel (seen before).

How do I express serious official interest to Lexus on this car?

Is just a front bumper bro, they can add the spindle grill at anytime.

I do hope they release this on the 5LS though.

^Correct. They can change the taillights as well if they want to. This car doesn't even look 'show ready'. It's dusty and sitting in a workshop. Theres no way they'll bring an unfinished product to a motor show alongside their TS030.

I also would have liked to see the spindle on it. Really hoping they just sell it as some LS "black series" or something.

Default 650hp twin turbo 2URGSE? TS650

next week see's the TS650 relase by TMG at the essen motor show.
650bhp Twin turbo 5.0 v8 powerplant - more than likely the 2ur-gse (useable current v8 5.0 production engine).. thoughts?
