We've always thought there's something really sexy looking about a car in flat black. We don't know why — maybe it's the somewhat unfinished look or maybe it's just the way it soaks up the light around it — but whatever the reason, we totally heart the vibe it gives. Especially in this rear-end shot of the new 2009 Nissan GT-R taken as Godzilla sat waiting outside a hotel in Singapore — probably waiting until the next time he gets to attack Japan. (Hat tip to Russell!)
