We've delivered the Lexus LFA's official shots and specs and now we've got live shots from the Tokyo Motor Show. Akio Toyoda approves, and he should, at $400,000 the limited run supercar will be Toyota's most extreme offering ever.

Yes, at $400,000 you could buy many Nissan GT-Rs for that kind of money, but from what we're told, the Lexus LFA is worlds beyond even the GT-R's capability. This type of assertion is the kind of thing which bends the limits of our fragile little minds, but we'll just have to wait and see. Give that Toyota is the master of suppressing excitement in favor of boring cars for the masses, we suspect they had to find something as an outlet for the creative energies of their best engineers. The LFA seems a natural, if not wildly expensive inevitability.
