Lexus Teases “Masked Machine” on Twitter

Kevin March 29th, 2012

As strange as it seems, Lexus has posted a photo on Twitter of a mystery vehicle hanging in the air from a crane:

Lexus Mystery Vehicle

The accompanying tweet reads:

It’s on a crane and under a cover. What is this masked machine?

Considering the ES is debuting next Tuesday at the New York International Auto Show, I’d say it’s a safe bet to be the masked machine under the blue tarp — in fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the ES being delivered to the Javits Center for its unveiling next week.

(The car’s identity notwithstanding, how about those LFA-inspired wheels? So awesome.)

Update: Looks like it is the next-gen ES — Lexus updated Twitter with this photo:

2013 Lexus ES 350 Revealed

If this is indeed the specific ES that will be on display next week at NYIAS, it’s a great debut color.
