Saw that on poshdrift.com

Is it the whole `stealth` thing, cause Reventon will surely be the king for matte paint factory car.

[daimlerman]

I suppose it will save on car polish...

[gooner1]

Oh dear matt black, can just hear the wringing of hands and knashing of teeth from some of the more staid
members on here now. Pity it,s not a bmw, they,d all be keeling over with coronarys right now.

[oylegate]

I like it.

[AlexBaur325]

I like it do. Not sure how practical it would be...bird crap, tree sap......oh well, spose you'd have a man to take care of such inconveiniences...

[maxfield]

Sorry, but that is the sex.

[dom-1984-320i]

Very tasty! Never been a big Merc fan but that looks pure Evil

[JGG1]

I like that!

[nickso]

hmmm....nice seats.

[Eddie25]

Gotta go with Maxfield. That looks the doggies! Others put your pipe and slippers away.

[SK360]

I think Munky's onto A winner here, he's started A trend

[Speedtouch]

I like the way they call it 'matte' black to distinguish it from mere matt

Quite surprised that they haven't smoked the rear lights to complete the look...

[d6dph]

Or stretched tights over them

I would imagine that Satan would choose this as a car. It's the shizzle !!

[Speedtouch]

Wouldn't gun-metal grey or lead-silver be more appropriate if it's a 'bullit'?

[v_nitro]

Brabus stuff is usually black, also amg have black editions of everything. I guess black is the new black

[motorsport786]

Looks good!!!

[projectmick]

Beautiful.

[Speedtouch]

Perfect Hood's motor - wonder if a sawn-off Winchester rack in the boot is an optional extra?

[oylegate]

Well if you think that looks badass then check out the Ferrari F430. Must be Satan's track day car

[playo]

Wickedly evil looking!

I read in EVO that it's just vinyl covered.

[miniblob]

Don't even care how good it looks, or who makes it!!!!

'6.3-liter bi-turbo V12 engine delivering a staggering 730 Hp and 1,320 Nm (974 lb/ft) of torque.'

I NEED ONE!!!!!!! 974 lb/ft!!!!!!!!

Wraps are getting very common (and very good). Scuderia Hanseat (upmarket driver training/track day company) have an Audi A8(?) vinyl wrapped in matt olive green. Very different.
Lots of e46 M3CSLs get wrapped, too. Only originally available in black or silver, a wrap changes the colour, protects the original paintwork and maintains resale value

Yep!

Seen a pic of a lime green wrapped e46 CSL at the ring it looks awesome!

I'd do it for a bit of fun if I had the spare ££

[bilun777]

How do you clean finger prints off matt black paint

I saw that car there in April, it was a fairly rough-and-ready job.
Cost just over a grand, according to the owner.

[andye30nut]

[robbo86]
