Vantablack BMW

I thought this would be cool - but a BMW with no discernible curves looks a lot like a Charger...

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Well you are starting with an X6 which is only slightly less ugly than an Aztec...

I did not know about Vantablack. That shit is cool! Wonder what the impact to Lidar would be...

The 996 desperately needs a full paint job and she does like black cars...

It's so black that it tricks the eye into thinking that anything painted with it is 2-dimensional.

It really is a mind screw. My great grandfather was a (half-assed) bootlegger in Texas during prohibition - this would have been a boon to those guys.
