Carbon Noire Commission

As the name suggests this commission is a mix of carbon fiber & black.

When looked at in natural light setting, carbon fiber has light tones of brown in its color make up. To match that unique blend of colors we created a bespoke black paint formulated to match the carbon fiber tones. A metallic pearlescent paint, incorporating gold flakes, was created to match the color of carbon in natural light but which looks black in the shade, we have christened it “Carbon Noire”.The front hood, roof & ducktail are left in the exposed carbon fiber of the original panels with the rest of the car in the Carbon Noire created especially for this car. Where the carbon meets the Noire, on the roof for example, it has been hand blended by our artisans. Exposed carbon fiber details are also visible in the snorkels on the front bumper, where you will also find our new optional aluminum honeycomb mesh grill in black finish. Similar to the mesh used on the new factory GT cars, this is the first commission to have this new option.

The car features light gold accents, a color taken from the current GT2, on the badging & engine cover complementing the car beautifully. The Brembo calipers are also painted in Noire with matching light gold logos sitting behind our 18” wheels finished in the same striking color. Featuring our, in house designed & manufactured, signature LED light bridge rear lights and black Bi LED headlights they round off the exterior of the car to give it an unmistakable night edition look.

The interior features gloss black carbon dash, seats & rear seat delete, all topped off with luxurious light cognac aeronautical specification leather as used in Gulfstream jets. Our Alcantara steering wheel is finished off with a billet 12 O’clock Marker, as is the 5 axis milled Sport button surround & vanity plate with the commissioner’s details.

Commissioned for renowned Porsche collector @garage26, this was specified in our Touring package, making it a compliant street car but also a devasting canyon carver.
