Transparent-Top Supercars

This McLaren Supercar's Transparent Roof Can Change Its Degree Of Tint

— August 19, 2016 — Autos
McLaren Special Operations, the bespoke section of the British automaker, has managed to take an already impressive McLaren supercar and add an extra aesthetic and functional twist by installing a gorgeous glass roof outfitted with a range of smart technologies.

This McLaren 570GT Concept vehicle features an 'Electro-Chromic' roof whose tint level can be adjusted by passengers, who can choose five different tint modes ranging from near-clear all the way up to a very dark tint.

Elsewhere, this McLaren supercar still maintains its 3.8-liter, twin-turbo V8 engine and 562 brake horsepower rating.

However the highlight feature of this vehicle is certainly its special glass roof, which adds a touch of class to the car's external appearance while also providing a useful amenity for passengers who want to be able to control lighting environments inside the car.



Trend Themes
1. Smart Glass Technology - The use of smart glass technology in cars allows for adjustable tint levels, providing passengers with control over lighting environments.
2. Bespoke Automotive Customization - The rise of bespoke sections within automakers allows for unique and personalized features to be added to high-performance vehicles.
3. Sustainable Luxury - The integration of smart technologies in luxury vehicles enhances the overall experience while minimizing environmental impact.
Industry Implications

2. Customization - The growth of bespoke sections within automakers enables the customization of vehicles to meet individual preferences and needs.
3. Luxury - Incorporating smart technologies into luxury vehicles creates a sustainable luxury market segment that appeals to eco-conscious consumers.
