Posted February 15, 2017 Ok, so we all know everything is getting the RGB treatment, from mice to mousemats to PC's and now.... Cars. McLaren will include a 'lightning' system for the engine bay in their latest and upcoming car. While not strictly RGB, it is the first manufacturer to use this sort of lighting (to my knowledge) to this effect. LINK: http://www.topgear.com/car-news/first-look/mclarens-new-supercar-has-40-litre-bi-turbo-v8 'Sense of occasion (or posing, if you prefer) has been taken into consideration too, with red ambient lighting illuminating the engine bay when the driver unlocks the car. ' is what TopGear have to say about it. Lighting has been used in cars for years for puddle illumination when exiting and entering cars, and yes people do put 'neons' in cars but this is a now a manufacturer installed feature. Lights inside the car, for the most part, serve a purpose, while this is very much like us putting lights into our PC cases... to show off whats inside Is this a sign of things to come? Will we see more manufactures follow suit?

It's amusing, gets a reaction out of people (i.e. getting called a ricer), doesn't weigh much of anything, is easy to install, and cheap enough to ironically do for laughs.
