In its tenth year at the SEMA Show, Lexus custom builds will be on display at the premier automotive specialty products trade event October 31 – November 3, 2017, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Fit for a Superhero who is also a king, the Lexus Black Panther LC 500 Inspiration Series is part Lexus Takumi craftsmanship, part Wakandan vibranium engineering and all badass. This concept vehicle incorporates (mythical) vibranium into its very core to provide an added boost. Much like Black Panther’s uniform, the sheet metal of the Black Panther Inspired LC is reinforced with a layer of vibranium weave, making the vehicle almost entirely bulletproof. Top-secret refinement processes also allow for a self-sustaining fueling component (vibranium-powered core) that enhances the Black Panther Inspired LC’s driving dynamics.
