As well as his presence, he has also lent his voice to the commercial courtesy of a remixed version of his track 'Dreamin About the Future'.
He said: "As a musician and an entrepreneur, I want my ideas and my presence to impact the world around me.
"The team at Lexus applied the same vision to the ad - showcasing how the NX impacts the design of the world around it."
The advert sees the singer appear on angled TV screens in a passing shop window before he emerges in the flesh from a faceted club, stopping in his tracks to admire the striking design of the NX as it drives past.
Alain Uyttenhoven, Head of Lexus Europe, praised will's appearance in the ad admitting he "perfectly complements" the company.
He said: "We wanted to bring our design philosophy for the Lexus NX to the forefront, transporting consumers to a world entirely built on revolutionary and striking design.
"It's an attitude that we apply to everything we do at Lexus- from the design of the car, to the innovative technology within. will.i.am perfectly complements the world that we created, fusing our joint passions for progressive design and technology."
As part of the NX Striking Angles campaign, Lexus has created a one off NX, designed exclusively by will.i.am. The highly stylised car will be unveiled in Paris on 24th September, during the annualParis Fashion Week.
