This version of the car apparently has done sub 7.20 around the Nurburgring.Its a pity there only doing 500 of these things and of that 500 there's only 50 lucky owners that will get the Nurburgring Edition.Personally I think to much is made of the price if I had the cash I'd have one in a heart-beat.

Do you know how hard it is to get matte black paint perfect? To the standard that Lexus approves of, and to the standard that wins awards for the best paint on any car? (Lexus won the award for best paint on it's cars at a large car show, though I can't remember which one)

if it aint out of a rattle can, it aint matte black

edit - sorry i should say M@tty B y0!

The limited run of Ford Focus RS500's are only available in matte black. It's not actually paint but a special vinyl covering from 3M. I wonder if Lexus will use the same process for the LFA.

Matt Black is the new pink or something as the Cosworth impreza is in the same colour:

Lamborghinis been doing it for ages too.

One of their top guys has a matte black gallardo

[sero_mon]

technically its not the paint thats matt, its a satin finish clear coat

[maddog]

I do think it looks pretty mint when done right huh. Have seen a satin black Ferrari 360 cruising around in Wellington CBD

[rollaholic]

i vote we turn this into a matte finish appreciation thread

post your sweet matte vehicles now

[MR2SIK]

Could spend ages looking for mint cars in this colour

[eskimo]

Yea satin black is the SH!T when done right... Even bikes look good, Yammy R6 or R1 in satin black

I like how they have outlined all the new parts with the wet carbon colour so you can actually see the difference in body parts compared to stock also noticed this LFA was running a sport tyre or road going semi slick to all will add upto there sub 7.20 time around the Ring.

Colour body and black roof. Must be drift spec!

[Mr Revhead]

I like, but:

[Adamal]

Is it just me, or that that look like a 612 with a Merc grill?

[Mr Revhead]

It's just you

[Adamal]

Or is it just you who thinks that it doesn't?

[Mr Revhead]

The other me agrees with me. So there.
