You know there are these clichés that are always associated with how fast cars make you feel. There are those who always say how it revs their heart and granted that they're emotions, butis there any proof? Well, now there is and Lexus has the answer. Lexus has created the world's first vehicle that directly translates the driver's heart patterns into a striking visual display across the bodywork. The one-off RC F high-performance coupe is the result of collaboration between Lexus Australia and the creative agency M&C Saatchi. Different technologies have been integrated into the car to monitor the driver's heartbeat and use the data captured to send an electric charge through the bodywork. The body panels are finished in an electro-luminescent paint, produced by the US specialist Luminor, which reacts to the charge with an intense glow, pulsing in the same rhythm as the driver's heart rate. Sean Hanley, Lexus Australia Chief Executive, said: "The heartbeat car also links to another key part of Lexus - high performance vehicles - via our F marque models, and the emotional responses a machine like the RC F can inspire in a person" Check out the video to find out more!
