The technical explanation for dilated pupils
5,861
individual parts, distributed over a length of precisely 464 centimeters and a width of 194 centimeters, covered with up to 16.1 litres of paint. What do these
numbers have to do with dilated pupils? Normally the pupil dilates in darkness, so that more light can fall on the retina. This is the only way the eye can take everything in.
This is simply the body’s reaction to a physical variable.
But a dilated pupil can also reflect an emotional reaction, as scientists discovered in the 1970s: when we are deeply moved and emotionally charged, the limbic system
in the brain sends a stimulus to the eye – and the pupil widens. And that’s why any future driver will have the designer’s work to thank for the first physical reaction
the SLS provokes – even before having the chance to experience the acceleration and centrifugal forces. When the gullwing doors swing open, the pupils dilate – a sign
that the body is saying: “Give me more! I want to see every last detail.”
