If you"re the kind of person who often loses their car in a supermarket car park, this BMW X6 is DEFINITELY not for you. Park it up at night and you literally won"t be able to see it, unless you"ve left the optional kidney grille lights on of course. Look at them there, shining like Jurgen Klopp"s new teeth. Anyway, we"re getting ahead of ourselves. What you"re looking at above is the BMW X6 Vantablack. It"s a one-off from the folks in Bavaria, who have collaborated with British firm Surrey NanoSystems in order to draw some attention to the premiere of the new X6 at September"s Frankfurt Motor Show. Surrey NanoSystems are the inventors of Vantablack, the darkest man-made substance in the world, which absorbs all but 0.035% of the light that hits it and means coated objects lose all of their defining features when looked at through the human eye. It makes them either seem 2D, or like a hole in the universe in the process.
