We got numbers. They're not great:
Vehicle weight: 1,750 kg or lower
Maximum system output: 650 PS or greater
Maximum system torque: 850 Nm or greater

I fully expected to love this. I also expected it to cost 3 Supras, but I decided I was willing to pay that. And then:
Isn't this actually really ugly?

The online car "journalists" are gonna be so busy with all the extra stuff you can spot in Toyota-financed anime.
Also, dude, that was way too long to go with broken glasses 😕
Got it. The shape does look good, just not the finish.
If the end result matches the OEM satin black, and the price is comparable to one of the three OEM lip pieces, I'd buy one on the spot as a sacrificial curb eater. It's a pretty subtle improvement, though, so it'd be hard to justify paying...

I have a suggestion: read the manual.
(@JT, some recent software change here is converting PNGs to WEBPs on upload, which makes them look like ass. Can you fix that?)
I watched this so you don't have to. Summary: they used the name "GR GT", played sounds of the exhaust -- confirming it has a gasoline engine that doesn't sound as good as the LFA -- and said more information will come later.
Looks like Toyota GR GT on the left, Lexus LFA in the middle, and Toyota 2000GT on the right to me, which is good news. I was worried they were gonna position this car as only a Lexus.
