Alfa Romeo Stelvio Might Have Filtered Windows

The Alfa Romeo Stelvio is a great acquisition even if you get a second-hand one. Promoted as a vacation car, the Stelvio SUV was recently updated and is sold for at least $40,000. How about a new Stelvio with a ''Instagram-inspired filter window technology" offered by the Italians? 

This particular update brings to the Alfa SUV the ability to "transport drivers and passengers to some of Italy's most iconic and beautiful locations." The idea for this technical specification will be added to the vehicles built for the British market. This is a perfect climate to test it because of the gloomy weather. But it'll become a standard feature for all the next Stelvio models nicknamed Nuova Luce (translation from Italian - New light).

It'll be integrated as a feature activated via the car's infotainment's system through a dedicated widget, the car occupants can opt for adding a filter to the windows using the last generation of electrochromic glass technology. Immediately after activation, the filters replace the flat light and the dreary weather with one of the five ambiances to add romance to the scenery, maybe? Could this be possible?

The total of five ambiances was inspired by a conducted survey of UK tourists' favorite places in Italy. You can switch the scenery between Rome - sunset hues with soft yellow and reds, Milano - bright, crisp light of the Duomo, Torino - the peachy palette, invoking ancient architecture, Como - rich blues and greens of sunlit water and Cinque Terre - the boldest one with high contrast color of the Amalfi Coast. 

If you're an Italian who currently works and lives in the UK under lockdown, you can enjoy the Italian warmth color palette with your new Stelvio car. This a world-first class technology meant to show the evolution of the auto-dimming mirror technology. There's the possibility that this feature will be sold to other manufacturers who could take it to a higher level.
