did anyone else notice the lasers with square top sails in the new Lexus commercial?

Huh. I'd seen the commercial, but it went by so fast I just assumed it was another boat because of the sail. Here's a screen grab, and it's definitely a Laser hull. Appears to even have the new style blades.
There was a guy on SA selling rigs like this a year or two ago. Same thing?
And please, it's Lexus TORCH.

Here are the sailors, they called it a "turbo" laser sail, I would love to try one of those sails out if anyone knows who makes them

Hansen Sails was the one who was pushing a fat head on SA. The sails above don't quite resemble the ones on SA from Hansen (less full length battens and it looks like no camber inducers above) as well as a cross cut pattern vs a radial.
I know North Sails made a few prototypes quite a few years ago http://sailingforums.com/threads/intensity-sails.3961/page-6#post-24183
(They weren't "turbo" versions, but designed to replicate the approx performance of the std sail while lasting longer and curing excessive weather helm upwind in a breeze)
