Black Panther inspired Lexus RX 500h F Sport SUV looks straight out of Wakanda, check it out

The re-imagined exterior of the RX features the Wakandan-inspired print and purple colorway that is also used throughout the Adidas sportswear collection. A diamond pattern inlayed across the hood is inspired by the Black Panther’s claw necklace.

Gold details, a tie to the new Black Panther’s suit, accent the exterior, with unique “F” center caps, F SPORT on the wheels and Lexus badging that are reimagined using the fictional Wakandan alphabet. 

The word “Vibe-Branium,” also spelled in the Wakandan alphabet, is added to the rear badging as part of its unique name: the Lexus RX 500h Vibe-Branium AWD DIRECT4.

Using the modern luxury of the latest RX as a canvas, Adidas's custom Wakanda-inspired tribal gold print covers sections of the seating surfaces and are featured prominently on the seat bolsters in particular. The same pattern is applied to the door panel inserts and in purple sections of the steering wheel. 

The F Sport door sill plate is translated in the Wakandan alphabet along with “Wakanda Forever”, which is embroidered on the steering wheel. Key tactile areas such as the steering wheel pad and front and rear headrests are covered in the Carbon 3D printed energy-returning athletic shoe mid-sole material used in the adidas 4D-FWD.
