The Invisible Car was created by the Top Gear team to prove that invisiblity wasn't science-fiction in Top Gear: At The Movies and the Fifty Years of Bond Cars Special, after critics claimed that the invisble Vanquish in "Die Another Day" was sci-fi. The car was driven around town by Richard Hammond.

Invisible Car in action.

The invisible car was based upon a modern Ford Transit van, and was mostly covered with flat-screen TVs, with an exception of the windscreen, side windows and front doors. Due to the number of TVs, a man had to sit in the back and operate a generator to power them. When the Particularly Enigmatic New Invisibility System was turned on, recordings from the sides of the car would be displayed in the TVs, making the car appear partially 'invisible'.
