Very Interesting Concept Car

[Rob Croson]

They painted it like that so it is harder to see the design features. Many companies do it on new designs.

Yep. They do it when they have to take a new model out where it may be seen/photographed, but aren't ready for it to be seen/photographed. Like out on a test track. The geometric patterns make it much harder to distinguish the actual lines of the vehicle, or any fine details.

Lego played along and did the same thing earlier this year when they displayed pre-sale samples of their Porsche 911 GT3 RS model kits at a show. They printed up some boxes showing the model in the black-and-white camo scheme. There were a lot of Lego enthusiasts that wondered if Lego had lost their minds, until someone explained the joke.

The real set was released in orange.

Looks like a Transformer that is nearly finished transforming into car form. In this case, I actually prefer the disguised paint scheme
