It's an expensive and possibly impossible task, unless you want to get creative with it.

Design student Sara Watson turned her old beater of a car invisible in a mere three weeks, and it didn't even cost her that much. Of course, she can't drive it now, and it's only invisible from a certain angle, but still.

The whole thing was done with paint, creating a seriously impressive illusion. The car is now being used as advertising for the local recycling firm that donated the Skoda Fabia to Watson for the project.

Next step: invisible cars you can drive. Shouldn't be too hard, right guys? [BBC via Jalopnik]
