BMW has created the world's blackest car, and looking at it is like 'staring into a void'
BMW is celebrating the launch of the next generation of the X6 SUV by painting the car with the Vantablack VBx2 coating. The 2020 X6, without the coating, has an MSRP of $64,300.
This coating makes the new X6 the world’s blackest car.
The Vantablack paint absorb more than 99% of visible light, removing all reflections.
The coating causes a lack of definition of features to the human eye and makes objects appear two-dimensional, like staring into a void, according to Vantablack.
While the coating may hide certain features of the car’s body, it also accentuates the Iconic Glow kidney grille, twin headlights, and taillights, according to Levitation 29.
“The first Vantablack car is certainly a big tick in the box when it comes to dream projects and opens the way for even more large-scale concepts- like a stadium!” said Director of Levitation 29 Benjamin Males. “To create the effect of infinite darkness on that scale would truly be spectacular.”
The car was on display at the Frankfurt Motor Show which took place September 14 to 24.
