Seat Reveals Paint of the Future
Nissan has been leading the way forward with 'self-healing' paint and the use of 'paramagnetic' paint to change the look of a car at the touch of a button, but SEAT has today, April 1, revealed a revolutionary new electro reflective panel finish which constantly adapts to its surroundings.
The technology is based on the electrochromic (auto dimming) rear view mirrors featured in many cars nowadays. Lead engineer, Santos Inocentes, explained: “We started off just fooling around with paint, but soon discovered that electro reflectivity was the future.”
A SEAT UK spokesman said of the new development: “We’re obviously very excited by this dramatically different exterior design feature, which mixes technology and innovation to deliver undeniably surprising results. Quite what happens when an electro reflective car meets a speed camera, though, is anyone’s guess!”
Thats freaking cool. Wouldn't want to drive at night where no one would see, but Police can use this technology in good effect.
what is BMW's April Fools joke, cause they're usually rather good....
I am writing on behalf of an another saint, who is not as much "innocente" as much "Sante" more over, sane too. He said that Innotcente is really a woman.
As the Saint added, that somebody is trying make competitors cars invisible.
well to be a good april's joke they should have spared the "santos inocentes" name and the "apr" numberplate.. actually using holographic tech coupled with miniaturized ultrafast computers it wouldnt be so farfetched in a few years time
"Aston Martin call it the Vanquish, we call it the Vanish"
love it. probably the pain would last until the next 1/4
The technique might be fantastic, better stealth then the army has in a Seat Leon. Ask Spain for your next War Mr. Bush =P
this technology might be more suitable for military vehicles and planes
APRIL FOOLS!
