Subject: [Leica] "Elmar design" lens on new Minox GTE?

In an ad I found a description of the Minox GTE as "Minox GTE, new design 
with Elmar Design lens".

Can anyone clarify this in anyway- for example, has Leica intervened in 
some way and given Minox a new lens design to use, and if so does this have 
a different look to it than previously?

What confused me is that I thought the Minox 35s at least from the ML and 
GT onwards had Tessar type lenses anyway and I don't see how this is so 
different.

If the results of the "new" GTE are markedly better or now strikingly have 
the "Leica look", I would be very interested. Any clarification appreciated.
