New High-Tech Electric Lexus RZ 450e SUV Makes its Debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever premieres in November 2022
Lexus vehicles have popped up in a few Marvel Cinematic Universe films over the years, and after the Lexus LC500 appeared in the first Black Panther, the brand-new all-electric RZ 450e is making its cinematic debut in the sequel.

In Wakanda Forever, the new RZ 450e is driven by the Dora Milaje warriors, which, as you can imagine, turns into a high-octane car chase sequence filled with spectacular stunts, explosions, and pin-point-accurate vibranium spear throws.

The RZ 450e enables has a few tricks up its sleeve too, with One Motion Grip steering and balanced handling thanks to Direct4 all-wheel drive as well as a seamless on-demand application of power via front and rear e-Axle motors.

“The power, elegance, and future-forward vision of the Lexus brand aligns perfectly with the Black Panther franchise. We couldn’t be happier to team up with Lexus once again to bring an action-packed story and supporting 360-degree campaign to life,” said Mindy Hamilton, Senior Vice President of Global Partnership Marketing at The Walt Disney Company.

Michael Moore, Lexus International’s General Manager for Strategic Communication said: “We’re excited and honoured to continue our collaboration with the Marvel Studios’ Black Panther franchise. Our all-electric RZ 450e is a perfect fit in the Dora Milaje’s cutting-edge arsenal, bringing an elevated driving experience that intuitively connects with its users through advanced technology and compelling performance.”

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever opens at cinemas in South Africa on Friday, 11 November 2022.
