revocromico
 n.— «A new word has been coined to describe the roof system—Revocromico. Well, we can follow the “revo,” but the “cromico” refers to the fact that the glass element is a rather fancy material created by French company Saint Gobain. It’s electrochromic, allowing the driver to select—from five tint levels—just how much light should be allowed into the cockpit when the car is running closed.» —“Ferrari Solves Roof Problem” CARkeys Nov. 25, 2004.
