Gawd I hope that's not really the new GS-F.
Tacked on bodykit + afterthought vent cutouts =/= F.
Hoping that's a new TRD kit or something... or an updated F-Sport model.
And I like my staggered rear exhaust, but the way it's done on this car is just odd. It doesn't match with the bumper. It's like they made cutouts on the bumper for a conventional quad outlet but decided last minute to stagger the outlets.

I'm going to assume with what we heard about the RC-F gaining a carbon fiber package option that maybe the GS F also gains that option and those pics maybe of that option.
Also surprised not to see LED's and no full spindle face, I was expecting a facelift. Maybe they are running test mules with the old face and don't want to show a possible new one.

Development mule: ...A vehicle equipped with experimental or prototype components for testing...They may also have advanced chassis and powertrain designs from a future vehicle that need to be tested, but clothed with the body and interior of some other car about the same size....Some noticeable alterations include simple cylindric shapes for the lamps in the taillights, different rims on the front and back without centrecaps, and a severe amount of added plastic and tape to hide the actual shape and design of the vehicle.

Actually, I hadn't realized when I posted (sorry don't follow GS that much) that it IS just a TRD kit! Okay then, I feel better now. (Sorry Joe, I thought you were only joking about the TRD kit. lol)
Hope this means that horrendous fender vent is not final too.

That's probably the GS-F prototype with a 4th Gen GS shell acting as a mule.
Would love a video with sound : the engine note would give us a better idea if the V8 was boosted.
