This McLaren 570GT Concept vehicle features an '[Electro-Chromic' roof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advanced-dimming-technology) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-concept-skytop) 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 Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Smart Glass Technology:** The use of smart glass technology in cars allows for adjustable tint levels, providing passengers with control over lighting environments. - **Bespoke Automotive Customization:** The rise of bespoke sections within automakers allows for unique and personalized features to be added to high-performance vehicles. - **Sustainable Luxury:** The integration of smart technologies in luxury vehicles enhances the overall experience while minimizing environmental impact. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive:** The use of smart glass technology in supercars presents an opportunity for automakers to differentiate their products and provide additional value to customers. - **Customization:** The growth of bespoke sections within automakers enables the customization of vehicles to meet individual preferences and needs. - **Luxury:** Incorporating smart technologies into luxury vehicles creates a sustainable luxury market segment that appeals to eco-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Uniquely Personalizable Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/765lt-spider.md) - [Convertible Smart Roof Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mc20-cielo.md) - [Hybrid Convertible Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artura-spider.md) - [Brutish Skeletal Supercar Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mclaren-570s-concept.md) - [Reimagined Open-Top Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opentop-supercar.md) - [Dark Tonal Sportscars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maserati-mc20-notte-edition.md) - [Vegas-Themed Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-viva.md) - [Semi-Transparent Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-concept.md) - [Lightweight High-Performance Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-highperformance-supercar.md)
