Amazing New Sunroof Introduced By Mercedes

Saturday, 23. October 2010

Could sun roofs be on the way back? Since many entry level cars have been fitted with air conditioning, that quirky feature, pretty much a British thing, the sunroof, has been dropped from the spec. of many cars. But could we see its return following the launch of the new Mercedes SLK next year? The first car to have the folding steel roof will now be fitted with an amazing sunroof which has the ability to go dark or clear at the touch of a button. It’s called Magic Sky Control. The glass is electrochromatic and reacts when a current is passed through it, either darkening it or clearing it. I was never a big fan of noisy inefficient sunroofs but I WANT ONE! Would you go back to having a sunroof? By Graham Hill
