It looks amazing. But isn't the appeal of the 722 in the historical reference of the color combo?

SLR 722 Not Flat Black ???

The MOST BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT car I've EVER seen.... I've always been the number 1 SLR fan (I like them in any color), but this just tops anything I've seen or imaged seeing. This SLR makes me want to go get one right NOW....

By the way, I don't think this is completely flat black. If you zoom in closely, you will see miniture metalic particles, but then again, they are not as reflective as the regular metalic particles. This is probably a combination of matte black and metalic black...

I once asked a somewhat "knowledgable" sales manager @ a local dealer about the different colors of the SLR, and he told me that the SLR does NOT come in flat black and that it only comes in "Galaxy Black Metalic", but I guess everything is possible if you special order one

In any case, this black SLR 722 is the BEST I've seen...

I've seen quite a few Galaxy Black Metallic SLR's and that one at the very top of this thread is definitely NOT Galaxy Black Metallic.

It is Flat Matte Black, with possibly some sort of metallic blend, but not much.
That thing is PURE SEX !!!

Flat BLack = BLiss. I love black cars, but flat black is better. It should be an option on all cars over 200K (to keep exclusivity)

If only that black 722 had gunmetal grey Brabus wheels on it...



Brabus + MB = Match made in heaven.
