It’s 2019 and a few hundred thousand dollars later, the BMW X6 Vantablack is born. Based on the production series X6, the Vantablack was touted at the time as the darkest color in the world. And the only one of its kind on a car. The X6 VBX6 was the result of a collaboration between BMW and Surrey NanoSystems, the inventors of the Vantablack technology. At the time, BMW said that the X6 is the first and only vehicle in the world to feature a Vantablack VBx2 paint finish. The engineers at the two companies explained to us that the human eye perceives Vantablack as two-dimensional. A surface coated in Vantablack loses its defining features to the human eye, with objects appearing two-dimensional.
