Lexus has teamed up with Marvel Studios in order to
create two Black Panther-inspired LC models, one for limited production and one
as a design study.
The Black Panther Inspired Lexus LC concept coupe
gets a special paintjob with the superhero’s face on the hood, the body has
been widened making room for the bigger alloy wheels while there’s also a fixed
rear wing at the back.
Lexus says that the Black Panther Inspired LC
concept’s powertrain gets an extra boost from vibranium, the mythical ore found
only in the superhero’s home of Wakanda.
This will be the
first model in Lexus’ Inspiration Series. Only 100 cars are allocated in the US
market, finished in the rather special Structural Blue and featuring a unique
carbon-fiber scuff plate, a bespoke and really lovely white-orange-blue
interior, 21-inch forged alloys and a limited-edition sommelier set inspired by
the LC’s design.
Lexus will display both of its special LCs at the
SEMA show in Las Vegas, starting from October 31.
