This special Lexus RX 500h is finished in Wakanda Forever Collection's shade of purple, while a diamond pattern inspired by Black Panther's claw necklace covers the hood. Gold details pay homage to the superhero's suit.
The Lexus SUV also has special badging on the wheels and elsewhere that is written in the fictional Wakandan alphabet. In addition to the F Sport and Lexus badges, Vibe-Branium is spelled out in the script on the back of the vehicle.
The SUV's seats, door panel inserts, and a section of the steering wheel all feature the "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" gold print pattern by Adidas. Key touch points such as the steering wheel pad and headrests are then covered in energy-returning material similar to that used on the mid-sole of an Adidas 4D-FWD shoe.
In other areas of the car, you'll find laser-cut wood and gold trim around the shifter, and the door sill plates feature the F Sport name written in Wakandan.
In addition to this new show car, Lexus and Adidas have collaborated to create a limited-release t-shirt designed by the students at S.E.E.D. Available only to select influencers, the shirt features the African proverb "Educate a woman, educate a nation" stylized in the traditional Japanese tategaki format, on the front. The back of the shirt, meanwhile, features a periodic table transcribed in Wakandan.
"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" hit theaters on November 11.
