Camouflaged Supercars: From Lambos To Rambos

If the point of driving a supercar is to be seen to best advantage, then the owners of these 10 camouflaged ultimate automobiles are doing it wrong. Then again, “stealth” is a relative term – and one of the best ways to stand out from the crowd is to blend right in.

Great paint jobs!  I wonder if they could be camouflaged against speed cameras?  ;D

well you just need to have a highly reflective surface / something that scatters the light - so when the photograph of the plate is taken all of the light is spread out. Actually they probably use IR based cameras, you just need to emit a bright pulse of IR..

You could have a great idea there?  Dragon's Den?  Oh wait, perhaps it would be illegal.  :)x

I saw a great police chase tonight on the M4 Motorway.  The car must have been doing 120 mph and was hotly persued by a police car with blue flashing lights.  Sadly I was turning off the motorway so I didn't see if the speedsters were caught.

watch out for that police, camera action show... you'll be able to identify the episode - cause there will be some tosser in a jag going at 50 in the outside lane just as the vehicle being chased goes over 100 in the middle lane.   ;)
