Your information is incorrect. BMW and Giugiaro designed the M1 and had an agreement with Lamborghini to produce the cars, yet because of Lamborghini's financial position, production was changed at the last minute to Baur, in Germany.

It could be argued that Toyota has already done an exotic with the 200GT, so Lexus trying to position this as a first seems a little weak, just like the car.
