Lexus QZ 618 Galactic Enforcer jet helps save the universe with
never-before-seen advanced alien-fighting technology
PLANO, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–With today’s red carpet premiere of Sony Pictures’ highly-anticipated
Men in Black™: 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

Umbra Black
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.

Men in Black: International makes its way to U.S. theaters on June 14.

speculation of what a powerful scum-fighting Lexus jet might be like.
The actual vehicle in the film was computer generated—the futuristic
vehicle does not exist in reality.

1 Umbra Black – 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.
