Lexus and Marvel Studios have an excellent partnership. Several times we see, Lexus cars take part in their films.
The latest, the second project, is to present the Lexus RZ 450e electric crossover in the Black Panther Wakanda film Forever, and will hit theaters next November.
Vinai Shahani, Lexus’ Vice President of Marketing, said: “The technology, creativity and imagination found in the futuristic nation of Wakanda are perfect for a sustainable global society. “We introduce the most advanced Lexus RZ 450e vehicle, further expanding our electric vehicle,” he explained.
Lexus launched the RZ 450e in April 2022, the first car based on Toyota’s new e-TNGA platform.
This car has a 96-cell lithium-ion battery, 71.4 kWh capacity, produces 313 hp and 435 Nm of maximum torque, all-wheel drive.
This combination allows the Lexua RZ 450e to accelerate from 0-100 kph in just 5.6 seconds, and reach a top speed of 160 kph. For mileage, the EV is capable of running about 400 km on a single charge, according to the WLTP test cycle.
The features are also very complete, equipped with the Lexus Safety System + 3.0 package, namely Pre-Collision System, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert, and Emergency Driving Stop System.
