This Vantablack BMW is the darkest car in the world

The new BMW X6 will be with us soon, being launched at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show. But this specific one is rather unique it is covered in Vantablack, the darkest manmade material in the world. Mike Fernie gives us a walkaround of this ultra dark car and discovers the science behind Vantablack s ability to be the blackest of black. Standing for Vertically Aligned Nano Tube Array, this material can make 3D shapes completely disappear which in the aestheticallychallenged X6 s case isn t too bad a result. Oh, and there was a grenadeproof X5 there too. Enjoy the video Follow us: Check out our store: Subscribe to the DRIVETRIBE YouTube channel:
