Lamborghini took the black wraps off the Gallardo Nera, a special edition of their "entry level" V10 supercar.
What differentiates this Gallardo from all others is primarily its color scheme. Painted in Nero Noctis (Nero Serapis in Europe), with side mirrors housings, rear spoiler, select body panels front and rear, roof, door sills, rear apron and Calisto wheels all matte black. The interior is black and white: Nero Perseus and Bianco Polar with white piping and top-stitching to contrast.
The Gallardo Nera will be produced in a limited edition of 185. It comes packed with sat nav, rear view camera (handy for parking and laughing at the cars you've left in the dust), lifting suspension (for negotiating curbs and annoying speed bumps) and a special car cover. The Nera edition might be just the thing for those with a big chunk of cash and a taste for something a bit more stealthy than bright orange or lime green.

I thought it was kind of odd at first, but that flat and gloss combination is really growing on me. It looks silly when they put matte black accents and decals on those Dodge Charger R/T Daytona things, but it really works on the Lambo, I think because of the angular styling.

This thing is awesome.
To #1 Dodge did the flat black and glossy black paint on cars back in the '70. Best examples are the '70 Challenger T/A and Plymouth AAR Cuda.

I don't care what color you paint it, those things are all "Arrest Me Red".
I'll take one. Yum.

Man I love that interior. And the exterior is not bad either :D But don't they make these cars with standard stick shifter anymore?
