PLANO, Texas  (June 11, 2019) — With today’s red carpet premiere of Sony Pictures’ highly-anticipated Men in Black^TM: International comes the world debut of the Lexus QZ 618 Galactic Enforcer jet — the first in the brand’s new jet-class fleet. Currently available only to MIB agents, it is powered by hybrid transformer technology. With the push of a button it morphs from a 2020 Lexus RC F sport coupe into the most powerful IFO (Identified Flying Object) ever engineered by Lexus. It is also the only Lexus available in the darkest black in the entire universe: Umbra Black¹.

“The Lexus jet reflects the future of the Lexus brand – the far, far distant future,” said Lisa Materazzo, vice president of Lexus marketing. “With the most advanced alien-fighting technology, performance and sophisticated styling, it’s in a class of its own.”

In a top-secret exchange of knowledge with an alien partner, brokered by “the agency,” Lexus was able to secure Quasar Power Source² Technology (QPST) that uses the power of the nearest Active Galactic Nucleus³ (AGN) to travel anywhere in the universe in seconds. Quasi-Stellar Objects⁴ (QSOs) are found in every galaxy that has a supermassive central black hole. So, all QPST-powered Lexus vehicles are named after black holes.⁵

Key jet features include:

Technology

• IGPS (Inter-Galactic Positioning System)
• Amazon Alexa* understands all seven trillion alien languages
• Gamma ray headlamps
• Infinite scaling technology

Performance

• Lexus’ very latest Quasar Power Source Technology (QPST)
• Propulsion system named after Black Hole TON 618
• 122 MPG (Millennia Per Gallon)
• Three driving modes: EcoDrive, SportDrive, QuantumDrive
• 0-60 in 0.0000000000001 nanoseconds
• Light-speed-matching capability

Comfort & Design

• Intergalactically sourced, ethically spawned Adorian leather

Safety

• Lexus’ latest transforming seats with a 31-point harnesses to accommodate every body type in the universe
• Lexus Safety System+ (LSS+) with available force field technology

Styles & Packages

• Enforcer Package
• Everything you need to protect the earth from the scum of the universe
• Also available in six other colors, but naturally, Lexus recommends UmbraBlack

Lexus vehicles are the official fleet of Men in Black agents globally in the film. The 2020 Lexus RC F stars as the Men in Black agents’ vehicle of choice for their high velocity pursuits. The luxury sport coupe recently underwent an exciting change, making it faster, lighter and even more ready to transport the Men in Black as they save the universe.

“The Lexus RC F sports coupe and QZ 618 Galactic Enforcer jet provide the perfect vehicles for our team of Men in Black agents as they protect the galaxy,” said Jeffrey Godsick, EVP, Brand Management and Global Partnerships, Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group.

¹ UmbraBlack – The very darkest part of a shadow is the umbra. It’s where an object completely blocks of the light source of an entity behind it. In astrophysics, it is the cone-shaped part of the shadow of a cosmic body that excludes all light from the original source.

² Quasar Power Source Technology (QPST) – Quasars are considered to be the brightest objects in the universe—emitting exceptionally large amounts of energy. There are very few sources that produce enough energy to power a quasar. Astronomers theorize that the sources of quasar energy are supermassive black holes within them.

³ Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) – A small region at the center of a galaxy so bright that the nucleus can be more luminous than the remaining galaxy light. The most powerful, steady sources of luminosity in the universe, they have too much energy in their nuclei to be due to stars or starbursts.

⁴ Quasi-stellar Objects (QSOs) – A class of astronomical bodies with a star-like visual appearance, but which have long wavelengths or redshifts.

⁵ Black Hole TON 618 – One of the most massive black holes in the universe, found in an extremely luminous quasar located 10.37 billion light years from the earth near the north galactic pole. It is 66 billion times the mass of the sun.
