Cars are a really weird choice of consumer products to paint in vantablack. All the aesthetics of rigid car body shapes are obscured and you can't really appreciate it. Not to mention how impractical such a car would be.

I totally understand that this is an artistic concept and nobody is planning to mass-produce or sell those, but still.

What I really wanna see in vantablack is clothing. I think it'd look really interesting and eye-catching.

It's a BMW X6 so I don't think aesthetics or practicality will be of any concern.
I don't share the resentment towards BMW X6. I actually think it's the best looking BMW SUV. To each their own I guess.
I remember, being 6.4”, having to have my head tilted in the back seat as the roof slopes severely to the trunk. Just thought it was so silly, and felt that this, this has to be one of the most pointless vehicles made in the most recent times. It’s just a SUV for the people in front. Such a weird life-style mobile, but as you say - to each their own.
Neither do I but I can see where that is coming from. X6 looks like a low SUV or a bulky car, rather non traditional design, a BMW version of Subaru Forrester.

That was a good burn though.

You're talking about it.

Mission accomplished.
