Multi-voltaic Silver paint on a new M-B concept

Mercedes-Benz has a new concept car powered by its paint job | The Verge

The newest concept car from Mercedes-Benz is the Vision G-Code, a stout silver vehicle that looks like it's from the near future.

Mercedes-Benz has dubbed the paint a "multi-voltaic silver" finish, and it not only acts as a solar cell but can also generate an electrostatic charge from the wind that the car slices through. The suspension also dynamically generates a charge, meaning there's some electricity being created with almost every movement the Vision G-Code makes.
I like the crown in the roof. Eventually we will be back to the 1930s, with updated cut-lines.
