From the official Lexus FB page. It looks way better than I was expecting based on the camo.

Is it mid-engine?

Oh yeah, that's $300K minimum on release. I look forward to never seeing one in person because they'll all be scooped up by car collectors who buy cars as investments...

So... I'm confused. That's definitely not the production car that was being shown off at Goodwood...

I'm guessing this is an update to their electric sport concept from a few years ago. I highly doubt that V8 they are showing off will be branded a new Toyota halo car.

^^ This. The body lines on this car look much too different to be the same near-production supercar in camo that we saw at Goodwood.

Seems like this is a different model.

Motortrend also notes it’s not the same as the one from Goodwood, they guess a new LC, and less likely a new LFA.

“We expected it would be the production version of the camouflaged car we’ve seen recently running around on California roads and flying up the hill of the Goodwood Festival of Speed. But it’s not. This is something different. Which leads us to the following conclusion: Toyota is going to build three new high-performance coupes, not two. One is an endurance race car that will compete in the GT3 class; the second is a sports car/supercar that will compete with vehicles like the AMG GT and Porsche 911 GT3; and the third is what Lexus revealed today. The latter looks to be a high-design, luxury coupe, most likely a replacement for the much loved but slow-selling LC coupe. “

GR RAV4 with fake carbon cosmetics and no actual performance bits.

I agree. This doesn’t look like the “LFR” & “GT3”….I mean, it has some similarities because of brand identity, but I feel like this will be the “SC/MKIV” reincarnation. I could be totally wrong on this, but the proportions just don’t match (even with the “GT3’s” camo).

This shot is absolutely stunning! Looks alot like the MKIV, but 30yrs later:

Nobody go harder on this forum than the conspiracy theorists and their fake AI news sources…

There are a lot comments saying it's a drone.

That isn't too outlandish, the RC is dead and the LC is on borrow time. So this would be the first sign that a replacement for both cars is in the works.
