Mercedes SLS AMG Matte Gold

AMG Desert Gold

Mercedes SLS AMG Matte Gold

Matt gold on the aluminum body together with striking highlights in high-gloss black – an extraordinary and highly attractive combination. With its matt silk surface, "AMG Desert Gold" further accentuates the sporty appearance of the Gullwing model. All the decorative and mounted features that are in shining chrome or Silver Shadow in the standard SLS AMG have been given a deep-black paint finish by AMG's designers. Whether for the Mercedes star and the trim strip on the cross fin at the front, the fins on the bonnet and flanks, the filler cap or all the model plates: high-gloss black is used everywhere, ensuring a striking contrast with the matt silk sheen of the gold paintwork. The black-painted AMG light-alloy wheels in size 9.5 x 19 at the front and 11.0 x 20 at the rear are embellished with a golden ring on the rim flange.

Lotus Exige Scura Special Edition

The Exclusive exiga scura

Lotus Exige Scura Special Edition

Lotus Cars unveils its latest special edition - the Exige Scura, so called due to its dramatic matt black and carbon fibre theme, at the Tokyo International Motorshow on 21st of October 2009.

Translated as ‘dark' from Italian, the name ‘Scura' reflects the stealth character of this already fierce looking Lotus and its stunning soft-feel matt black paint finish. Limited to just 35 cars globally, this Exige evokes a desire to ‘indulge your dark side'. This is a serious looking car and enhancements to performance and a reduction in weight from the production level Exige S means that the Exige Scura demands to be driven by a serious driver.

Avus Tuned Audi TT-RS

460hp and 472lb/ft torque!

Avus Tuned Audi TT-RS

Latest creation from AVUS PERFORMANCE is something special for all Audi fans, especially those who remember the Ur-Quattro with its blistering 5 cyl. turbo sound. The remake by Audi is better known as the TT-RS which shares the engine and of course the sound.

With a stock power of 340bhp and 332 lb/ft of torque it is capable of doing the 0-60 in 4.6s. AVUS PERFORMANCE takes it a step forward and improves the power and the look of the TT-RS. Adjustable coilovers and gloss black 20″ Sportec Mono wheels make the TT-RS look much more aggressive. Thanks to the special setup which improves the factory suspension even further and makes the TT run a lot smoother not only on country roads. Different setups for the race track are available either.  Read the rest of the release after the break.

Matte Red Ferrari F430

Another Matte Ferrari to add to the list

Matte Red Ferrari F430

I am definitely a fan of matte cars, but not too sure about this red matte Ferrari F430.  For some reason this one just looks like it needs some polish and wax, just doesn't scream WOW.  I guess if your going for the subtle look this will work.  What do you guys think, more pics after the break.

Confused BMW R8

This must be a joke

Confused BMW R8

Ok, this must be a joke, or it's pretty sad if someone actually did this intentionally.  A BMW emblem is even seen in the engine bay. I am digging the flat gray paint though!

My favorite Lamborghini gets Matte treatment!  As if the LP670-SV is not mean enough, the owner of this Lambo had his finished in Matte black to give it a even meaner look.  I think I still prefer the standard orange finish though..  What do you guys think.  More pics after the break.

Matte Blue Ferrari 599

Perhaps money just doesn't buy you taste?

Matte Blue Ferrari 599

We've posted a lot of matte cars that we love, but this is one that leaves me with mixed feelings.  This matte blue Ferrari 599 owned by an Italian businessman was spotted wearing a two-tone paint job.  Light blue and dark blue matte finish.  What gives me mixed feelings though is the interior, the interior is finished with a denim jeans covered seats!  Pretty daring, I must say.  More pics after the break.
