Power and Acceleration

The Dora Milaje are known for their incredible power and speed, despite not being superhumans. The first-ever RZ 450e exhibits similar skills to these famous warriors. To put things more specifically, the electric vehicle can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds, largely thanks to its impressive 312 horsepower.

Design and Style

While it might not be a superpower, per se, the Black Panther is certainly recognized for their incredible super suit. The iconic Black Panther suit, as shown in the film, was designed by Shuri to be as practical as it is stylish. The same can be said for the RZ 450e, which was designed with a lightweight body and aerodynamic architecture. Accents throughout the vehicle, both inside and out, are reminiscent of the stunning accents on the Panther suit.

Technologically Advanced

It’s no secret that, in the MCU, Wakanda is the most technologically advanced nation in the world. With revolutionary technology not just packed into the Black Panther suit, as previously mentioned, but in every aspect of its residents’ daily lives, the Lexus RZ 450e certainly had to step up to prove itself. With this being the first battery-electric vehicle the brand has built, it certainly is a huge step forward in technology and means more than words can say for the brand’s future.
