Now, it’s not very often that you get your hands on an expensive car with the soul purpose of covering it in artwork. However, artist Romero Britto got just that chance with a Bentley Continental GT nonetheless.
Nothing has been done under the hood but as you can see it’s been covered with white squiggles and all sorts of other artwork sure to make any collector drool.
This peice of art will be auctioned off after Britto’s Come to my World exhibition taking place in Berlin from July 10th to September 6th.

Rolls Royce "Visualizer" Website
While the Rolls Royce production model of the Ghost isn’t expected to debut until the Frankfurt show this coming September, the company has already launched an online configurator on its website to let potential customers and inquisitive enthusiasts alike dabble with the various color and trim options that are likely to appear on the production version.
Dubbed the “visualizer”, the website allows you to select from a range of exterior paint colors, interior leather trims, dashboard wood veneers and even the brushed aluminum front bonnet trim. Although not nearly as glamorous as driving around town in an actual Rolls-Royce of your own, it may help you to visualize it.

Color Changing Mini
MINI will debute its first ever color morphing car in Singapore this June. Called the Mini Chameleon, the car changes color in accordance to weather conditions. For example, on rainy days, the car’s paint brightens to improve visibility while on sunny days, it lightens to reflect heat and cool the vehicle down.
The car gets its color changing capability thanks to a special paint treatment technology called FeintPaint which was developed by a Spanish company. The paint contains tiny magnetic iron oxide particles which react to changes in the magnetic field and change color in seconds.
