A new trend is in with regard to luxury autos; matte finish paint. Matte cars have always been on the fringe of cool, and at this year”s Paris auto show, the matte will be out in force with Mercedes showing six matte-finish cars, and BMW presenting an M3 sedan in frozen gray. Matte cars have [...]
Every matte-black car we’ve seen so far has made us drool. Of course there were cars like the chrome Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano or the gold accessorized Toyota Camry that made us say ‘wtf.’ Well this Nissan GT-R joins the latter with a horrible matte-gold paint job. Seen on the streets Dubai (of course) this is [...]
We were bound to see one sooner or later. Some of the greatest cars have been seen in matte-black over the past year; even automakers like Lexus have jumped in on the action and have started displaying concepts in stealth color. A matte-black Audi R8 was recently spotted in Germany – and we have to [...]
We’re huge fans of matte-black and feel that it’s now a popular enough color for manufacturers to offer it in the color palette. Lexus is showing this matte-black LF-Xh concept in Paris right now, and we have to say it looks a lot better than the one we saw at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. [...]

We’re not sure who it belongs to or [...]

Not because it’s more powerful or more beastly, but only because Mercedes will end its relationship with McLaren and the SLR will be no more. The AMG 5.5L V8 [...]
Online he’s known as Vanquish and in the real world he’s known as Adrian Wong (make sure you check out his site here). A student at Ngee Ann Polytechnic as a Multimedia & Animation Student, Wong recently had the pleasure to photograph a matte-black Nissan GT-R with his DSLR camera. We just can’t stop imagining how amazing this 473-hp GT-R would [...]

Refresher: Power comes from a 4.3 liter V8 engine that produces 510 horsepower. 0-60 comes in 3.5 seconds. Only 250 units available for the U.S. market. Matte Black Ferrari 430 Scuderia:
