Never heard anything about Le Finesse. And if it's proper French it should be La Finesse, (unless it's a guy driver's nickname?).

I've got a bunch of old posts/rants about how Lexus jacked this car from Toyota (much like Scion seems to be doing with the FT86) to try to jump on the F1 bandwagon instead of it being an aluminum-chassis Supra with a 2UR-GSE to compete with the GT-R. A lot of opinion but also some good circumstantial evidence...

Why, Toyota, why???
Lexus's design language is called L-Finesse. They use it on every concept now. People might call LF-Gh (new GS) Lexus Future Grand-touring Sedan Hybrid, but the LF here stand for L-Finesse.
