Pretty slick look. Don't know about them Dolce & Gabana tail lights, though.

I love the non-gloss paint job. That is one awesomely sexy super vehicle.

Probably sets the wallet back more than I make in several years.

Nice looking car, but if I had that kind of scratch to spend on a car, I'd want something more than primer for the finish

That has to be one of the most visually appealling cars I've ever seen!

I've posted a quick vid of a guy that regularly races in the local Vintage series often when I'm racing in another series at Mosport - he happens to drive up to the track in his silver SLR. As nice as it is, it pales in comparision to the black 722

No doubt! That is a stunning design but the matte refinish looks like it was not quite finished.

I'm thinking that something a little more fitting in the refinish process might make this car stand out.

My thoughts exactly. When I was a kid a lot of us painted our heaps with primer and left them that way. Matte finish LOL.

Nice, very nice! I guess, I would spend my (pretend) money on something else though.

I've always thought the SLR looks like the Batmobile, the flat black paintjob makes it even moreso!
