The King of Wakanda travels in style. And it’s all thanks to Lexus, which debuted its 2018 LC 5oo in an amazing stunt sequence in the Marvel Studios blockbuster, Black Panther.
“Marvel continuously captures audiences through charismatic characters and inspiring stories — the ideal fit for Lexus’ mission to craft amazing, engaging experiences,” said Brian Bolain general manager, Lexus marketing. “And the LC’s aggressive styling, high performance and agile handling are a perfect fit for the Black Panther’s quick, cat-like reflexes and superhuman feats. We’re excited to see the duo in action.”
As you may have guessed, Black Panther must always be at the top of his game, demanding only excellence from his vehicle. With the LC, those exacting standards are met. Powered by a 470 bhp engine, the LC delivers a breathtaking blend of power and performance. To match the Black Panther’s reflexes, aluminum, and carbon fiber are used to reduce weight and optimize dynamic handling.
Physics aside, Black Panther’s LC 500 is also one thing that a luxury car should be — super shiny! On top of the protection that the Black Panther’s vibranium suit affords, it is also undeniably aggressive and sleek. Using cutting-edge technology, the Structural Blue pigment of the LC reflects nearly 100% of incoming light compared to the 50% by conventional blue pigments. This creates a mesmerizing new sh
ade of blue that has never been seen anywhere else. Now that’s style served ala T’Challa!
Indeed, the Lexus LC 500, forged with the steadfast spirit of Japanese craftsmanship that prioritizes fine quality and impeccable elegance,found its match in the King of Wakanda — and in doing so, became the runaway winner, both on the road and on the big screen!

Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, with Angela Bassett, with Forest Whitaker, and Andy Serkis.
