If you were among the masses worldwide that saw enough of the blockbuster Marvel film BLACK PANTHER to help drive its ticket sales to over $1 Billion, then you also saw the exciting car chase scene in South Korea (via Wakanda).
What was the car they were driving? It was a Lexus LC 500!
Sleek in line and design, the LC 500 is fast as well. It goes from 0 to 60 in 4.4 seconds, with top speeds of 168 mph
According to Lexus, 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.”
To accompany the collaboration between Lexus and Marvel, Lexus also teamed with Marvel Custom Solutions to create an original graphic novel, with storytelling driven by famed writer Fabian Nicieza and cover illustrations by emerging graphic artists Scott “Rahzzah” Wilson and Szymon Kudranski. Centered around the balance between human and machine, the comic features the Lexus LC 500 with a new, Wakandan spin and its role in helping the Black Panther defeat a legendary villain.
Fortunately you don’t have to be a superhero, super genius, or royalty to drive this car. If you want one like what you saw in Black Panther, you have a number of colors from which to select. The Lexus LC 500 comes in Smokey Granite Mica, Infrared, Ultrasonic Blue Mica, Ultra White, Atomic Silver, Liquid Platinum, Caviar, Autumn Shimmer, and Nightfall Mica.
