At next month's Frankfurt Motor Show, BMW will display a one-off version of the forthcoming third-generation X6 SUV that's been fully coated in Vantablack paint, in which carbon nanotubes are used to create one of the darkest substances on Earth.

I want my Dodge in Vantablack.




What it is, and how it works.

  1. I would love to have that color on my BMW.

    I've said for years that I like black. I wear a lot of it. My cars are black. I think it suits me. And if I could find a darker color, I'd wear it.

    THAT'S my darker color.

  2. hopefully, it absorbs all manner of radiation, thermal(needs a BIG a/c), laser, microwave, and yet is pleasing to the eye lacking the glare of sparkling chromium. but, if it catches fire will the carbon nanotubes cause shorts in electronics downwind of the fire?

  4. Reminds me of the night a velvet-covered van crossed in front of me at a stoplight.
    My headlights disappeared for a while.

  9. I bet it will be radar invisible and absorb most lasers too, Speed to your hearts content. Don't worry about the front plate or head lights or that huge grill in the front.
