    Mat black 550 Maranello, black rims


    I have seen this car yesterday.... gorgeous!!!

    Everything is black, the paint is mat black and it suits the car so well

    The sound of the exhaust was incredible : loud, deep, rough...

    That car was more impressive then any F I have seen in years!

    Re: Mat black 550 Maranello, black rims

    Can that be done by the factory? Or does it have to be done aftermarket?

    BTW, that thing must absorb UV rays like no other lol

    Wow, love it!

    Trust me, if you're willing to pay the factory can make it happen.

    I did not have time..the guy then parked it inside the garage.

    That car had so much presence.. it is rare that mat black looks really good on a car. There is a 996 mat black around here and it looks terrible, but the 550 looks mean and classy at the same time. Maybe it has to do with the big size of the car.

    The man driving it, in his late 50's, was dressed all in lack too..

    Reminds me of a thread with pictures of some guy in Hong Kong who had gotten the inspiration for the paint job on his Murc from a MiG jet fighter. Looked awesome!

    That's definitely neither the standard nor the sports exhaust from Ferrari.

    Not my taste - sorry - looks 'unfinished' to me.

    How long before a gangsta rapper, drug dealer, international footballer, heavyweight boxing champ and the Sultan of Brunei each place their orders for this type of matt car...?

    I guess for some wanting to be different overshadows the exercise of good taste...

    Just my opinion...

    thats not a 550, it's a 575M Maranello. No matter. Nice car.

    Re: Mat black 550 Maranello, black rims

    how do you tell the difference between an 550 and a 575m ?

    The rims look great but the car itself doesn't suit with the mat black..
