Matt black Nissan GT-R and Audi R8 in the UK
24 August 2009
It’s a city famous for Oasis, football and Coronation Street, but now Manchester can also be associated with matt black supercars.
Because Auto Trader reader Oliver Pearson has photographed a matt black Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R in the Didsbury Village part of town.
And he says there’s a matt Porsche 911 doing the rounds in the northern city.
The trio of prestige motors join the Mansory GT Speed which has been on display at Bentley Manchester over the past fortnight as flash cars with matt paintjobs.

Along with the R8 and GT-R, Oliver also snapped a raised Toyota Hilux pick-up truck and a bright orange Audi TT in an eclectic collection of mad-looking motors.
Manchester, thanks in part to the highly-paid footballers living in the surrounding areas, does incredibly well in the flash car stakes.
Blackburn Rovers midfielder El Hadji Diouf has a chrome Mercedes McLaren SLR while Man City star Stephen Ireland drives an Audi R8 with blue decals denoting his team colours.
Another City star, Brazilian Robinho, drives a white Lamborghini Gallardo while pantomime villain Robbie Savage is regularly snapped in the city with his Murcielago.
Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand drives a Techart Magnum.
Can you beat Oliver? We’re setting out a challenge to find the maddest supercars across the country and to take a picture of them. Email them to editorial@autotrader.co.uk along with details of where you spotted the cars and we might publish them. All cars must be on public roads.
Thanks to Oliver Pearson for the Manchester pics
