Color-Changing Cars

This Lamborghini Displays an Image of Captain America When Doused with Water

This color-changing car will instantly change from a solid color to an image of Captain America when splashed with water.

Artist Rene Turrek has found a way to transform his vandalizing tendencies into an amazingly creative display of superhero art. This fascinating project combines pop culture, art and flashy sports cars. Turrek created a video that displays his purple car being given a water bath that transforms the hood into an image of the first Avenger and the body of the car into an American flag.

This trifecta of creativity is every nerdy childhood dream come true and truly looks like a magic trick. This masterful display was created using thermochromic paint, which changes due to temperature alterations. Without the water or extreme temperature changes, the car remains a classic deep purple color.
