While Toyota’s upscale moniker still has yet to officially confirm the car for production, it’s obvious that Lexus is poised to get a serious performance halo car very shortly. The front end on this mule looks different than others we’ve seen, with different hood vents and a revised front splitter than the prototypes spotted late last year. Out back, the mule retains the 2007 show car’s mid-mounted triple exhaust and oversized vents beneath the taillamps.

The front-mid-engined coupe is expected to be powered by a 500+ horsepower V-10, and looks set to bring the fight to Honda’s next Acura NSX, as well as Audi’s sparkling R8 and the usual sacred Italian cows (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, etc.). A hybrid variant also appears to be a possibility.
