2010 marks the end of an era. The current generation of the Dodge Viper is set to be retired, and it’s going out with a bang.

And of course, the 8.4-liter V10 engine that has made the Viper so iconic

Monochrome madness in the all new 2010 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Grey Carbon. Proof that raw power is more flashy than canary yellow and a point pushed home by the latest super car wearing the Veyron badge.

But it’s not just color that makes this black beauty special.
