The fog lights on the white version look horrible, so hopefully Lexus will retain the lower front valance openings that were shown in the first F-Sport teaser pic or offer the fog lamps as a option.

I think the grey one may be the hybrid in f sport trim. Notice how there is camo on the bottom of the rear rocker panel, but none on the white vehicle. Also the white car may just have the fog slights because most of the headlight is covered up with camo.

^ I thought the exact same thing. That is where Lexus typically puts the "HYBRID" badge.
Looks like the hybrid is essentially replacing the V8, as many have speculated. Does not seem like a one-off model like it was for the third gen, but now a legitimate optional powertrain in base or F Sport models.
I'll still miss the V8

I guess Lexus is really focusing on German designs even the camo looks the same now. I mean correct if I am wrong I do not remember Lexus using this type of camo before(usually seen on BMWs).

Lexus still uses a variety of camo. That includes Toyota's traditional tape and cardboard camo, along with black thick vinyl cladding, fake foam layers under the vinyl cladding to conceal styling features, frankenstein bodies of previous generation cars as engineering mules, and more recently, some Euro-style camo. So overall, Toyota uses a wide variety of camo depending on its needs.

TMC used it on the FR-S test mules in Germany so it may just be the supplier of the camo just has one pattern?
