Behold, the Gemballa Mirage GT Matte Edition.

It's everything that the other Mirage GT Editions boast -- 3.7-second 0-to-60, 208 mph top speed, 670 horses -- but it's nasty, as in Doom on Wheels, with nothing but silver accents over light-eating black paint. A shame about the blue-on-blue alcantara interior, though.

Wow...

That actually doesn't look half bad, it has all of the right accents in the right places.

That interior is gay, but holy crap it looks evil. I like it.

Tearstone · 08/11/2009, 10:09 AM

I wonder why they put different colored lug nuts on either side of the car?

gtseclipse · 08/11/2009, 10:09 AM

blue on the wheels on one side, and red on the other?

damn you Russ

SpDyF5 · 08/11/2009, 11:42 AM

I would have liked a red interior better.

The interior reminds me of this:

"wow" but interior

matte paint jobs are the new time attacks. Which is to say, played out before it even got popular.

So when it's dark, you can easily tell which direction the car is going.

Wow what a beautiful car, although the interior sort of detracts from it.
