Unlike other forms of camouflage, the intention of dazzle is not to conceal but to make it difficult to estimate a target’s range, speed, and heading. Norman Wilkinson explained in 1919 that he had intended dazzle more to mislead the enemy about a ship’s course and so to take up a poor firing position, than actually to cause the enemy to miss his shot when firing.
Many decades later and a similar paint job finds its way onto BMW’s most advanced car-to-date – the i8 plug-in hybrid.
According to a Reddit post by the owner, the i8 was picked up in September and featured the Crystal White color. Shortly after, a full Satin Black Wrap 1 was added only to be followed by a custom camo patterns overlay. The cost for a similar design is said to be between $3,000 and $5,000.
The final package is now a combination between a military car and a Batmobile, but nonetheless an interesting one that will make the i8 stand out even more.
