There should be a second test mule video surfacing soon I’m sure. Except, it probably won’t have those “quick shifts” we see in this video.

Doesn’t look like hard testing?

Why couldn’t that just some reg dude running

If we're watching the same video you would see there are other test mules on the track. They have separate days for manufacturer testing and personal use.

In layman's terms they just don't let "reg dudes" on the track while limited hand built prototypes are also driving around.

Not to be a party pooper, but doing some digging we have already seen a number of test cars with both BMW and Toyota plates. I just don't think we should be getting overly excited just yet.

I believe (if my source is correct) there is one in matte black with a “two piece” spoiler with a dip in the middle. Let’s try and see if that video is anywhere. No other details than that. Also, pretty sure the manual transmission is on hold. Don’t have the full details why yet.

More of the media is catching up.

Wow, this supra is going truly flat out.

As great as it would be for it to be the S58 under the hood, I do not see it as so even if ///M allows it. By QAing BMW's S58 Toyota would be undercutting Lexus's performance division distinguished reliability over other performance brands, notably ///M. For example, by QAing the S58 Lexus loses their edge in reliability of a future IS-F or RC-F with a Mazda inline 6 over the M3 and M4.

Can't wait to officially hear what this is and then everyone complain again like they did from the 2020 MY to the 2021 MY due to improvements

They're trying to reproduce the bumpsteer issue since consumers reported it before the engineers did.
