Quite sad really... when AI voiced and generated video is used as a source and called "fact". Not much of above are facts, sadly most of it is known to be not true. Describing photoshopped LC500 also doesn't make it fact. And many of the statement on their own are kind of cringe "manual transmission to shift superfast"... begs the question - who wrote this script? A child?

Naturally aspirated anything - will not be the engine. That is fact. Strong speculation is that next Lexus flagship is going to be sadly electric. 

Exterior is sort of shared by Lexus concept art, so it will be somewhat similar to ESC:

Not saying it will look exactly like that, but to be fair Lexus kept their production flagships quite close to the concept models in terms of key design features... and this is not speculation, this is basically directly from Lexus. The question is only when.

Now as for the rest of the description, it seems to match rumours from ~2016 (2018 latest) about Lexus LC-F, and those rumours were repeated so many times that I think maybe Lexus had such project, but ultimately decided to cancel it. That is - fit LF-A 5L V10 engine into LC... honestly I think that was good idea, give somewhat attainable Halo car that real brand enthusiasts could actually buy, something that LF-A failed to achieve. Halo cars are there to generate buzz, to drive around, to be seen, so that people can see them and aspire to own them one day. LF-A was just way up there on pedestal, the car that only stupid rich collectors can buy and that stays locked-up in the basement, so that is outright failure as far as Halo car is concerned. And as far as overpriced collectable is concerned... it also failed to wow those stupid rich people, it was somewhat in the league of McLaren, mid-range Ferrari like 458 (Ferrari flagships like F12 and 812, were leagues above LFA), sort of cars that are not even considered very exceptional by those mega rich individuals. Basically, in the market to which it should appeal "upper-premium", the cars that starts at just over 120k, but then sells used for like £40 (Bentleys, Maserati's) LF-A was just too expensive... and in market of collectable toys, it was just too sensible, reliable, boring and slow... and not even expensive enough... it was a super car in times of hypercars.

Anyway, so above AI garbage rumour is nearly 10 years old, relates to LC-F which we never got and which we will never get, because it is tool late in the model lifecycle. LC itself is nearly 10 years old, nobody released the exciting trim into the model life-cycle after 8 years, if there was time for LC-F, then that time was maybe in 2018, 2019, latest 2020.
