Behold: the BMW Vantablack X6 – a regular BMW X6 SUV with a carbon nanotube paint job. Tricked out by Surrey NanoSystems in kidney-grille enhancing, reflection-suppressing, light-gobbling Vantablack, the car will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month.
Darker’n a black steer’s tookus on a moonless prairie night.
Maybe not that dark.

I really hope it’s the new S-VIS Vantablack and not the vanilla kind, which may as well be asbestos with how dangerous it is to be around.
Does it have indicators?
RSA – cyclists!! Wear high vis and look like a Christmas Tree! Lights, strobes the works!
Blacker than black car = this is fine.
Also, install illegal tinting on screens and windows. Ah, shure, why not stick one of those rotating scythes on the wheels to de-limb pedestrians.
lovely
I wonder what Frank Keane can do for me

ask Millie ;)
mmm dunno. looks a bit cheap & tacky to me
Black. As black as your heart.
I want to hate it. I really, really dislike BMWs but I actually love the look of this.
Drive tribe had a video about it yesterday. It’s not really vanta black. 10% of the light escapes due to it having to be sprayed on. The BMW special protection SUV in the video is a lot more sexy.

As nice as it is, it makes the tyres look like muck in comparison.
looks horrible
so it’s basically a really expensive machine designed to kill children on the roads…
and it’s to be controlled by BMW drivers….
Brilliant.
Ugliest thing I’ve ever seen (after a volvo). pass…
Always loved a black car so this is excellent. A quick search suggests a price of around a million to spray a car.
