We had the LF-S concept which was the preview of the GS design/L-finesse
I had to find it at this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...g-19-a-36.html
Granted now I can see that it is not exactly the same as what was released, but if you read this old thread from way back in 2004 you will see several people mention (not just myself) that the 3rd Gen GS looked like that spy photo, which when it was posted everyone jumped on saying it would never look remotely like that.

I really do hope the new GS comes out SICK, as I have always had a soft spot for the GS.

Road & Track: Lexus GS-F rumored for 2011 or 2012 debut
Lexus GS-F: A Hot Future Sedan to Take On the BMW M5

It’s no secret that the name “M” and “AMG” possess a mystical quality to car enthusiasts. As the factory-tuner divisions of BMW and Mercedes-Benz, respectively, these monikers have come to represent the pinnacle of high-performance luxury. Well, it seems that Toyota wants to join the game.
G Sports is a new brand that Toyota is trying to establish; however, with the current recall fiasco, those plans may be on hold temporarily. Among the projects under the G Sports (or G’s) umbrella is a new performance sedan called the GS-F. The new car will be a souped-up version of the Lexus GS sedan, in the way the IS-F is to the IS. The car is expected to come with a slightly detuned version of the 4.8-liter V-10 powerplant from the LFA or a new 5.0-liter V-8. Either way, the car will possess in the neighborhood of 500 bhp, and go straight at BMW’s M5. Will this car ever see the light of day? Unless Toyota finds someway to ride out the current mess it’s in now, the chances may not be so good. Our sources tell us that the car was scheduled for a 2011 or 2012 debut, with a price of around $70,000 to $80,000.

Not even going to believe any type of rumors like this. You know it's not even solid information if they don't even know if they're going to use the LFA's v10 or ISF's v8. And we all know that Lexus did not plan to use the LFA's v10 in future cars, only to use the research, innovation and technology.
