10 Blacked Out Packages That Will Make Your Neighbors Jealous

According to data from iSeeCars, white and black tend to run neck-and-neck for the most popular car colors in the US. In 2023, they were at 26% and 22%, respectively. How many of these black cars are black-on-black-on-black, we can’t say, but the rising popularity of totally blacked-out packages no doubt plays a part in the dominance of black cars over the last twenty years or so.

​​​​​​

Almost every automaker offers these all-black Batmobile color schemes these days, but some cars simply look better in black than others. Just for the fun of it, we’re rounding up 10 of our favorite “murdered out” packages available on the market today.

2025 Honda Pilot

Honda has switched things up for the 2025 Pilot, dropping the LX trim, and adding a new Black Edition, featuring black-out styling and red-accented interior at an MSRP of $54,280. For reference, the Elite trim comes in at $52,780. You’re getting gloss black 20-inch alloy wheels, a black-out grille bar, black air ducts, black everything, some cool Black Edition scripted badges, and Black Edition logos stitched on the seats and mats.

The Black Edition Pilot is essentially the same as the Elite trim, the top-of-the-line AWD model, but with an aesthetic upgrade. That means heated front seats, blind spot monitoring, hill start assist, stabilizer balls, roof rails—everything that makes the Elite trim the perfect blend of daily driver and adventure vehicle—but it’s all black, from the windows to the flooring to the heated steering wheel, save for some red stitching, trim, and ambient lighting inside the cabin.

Bentley Bentayga S

The all-black-everything look suits the Bentayga S rather nicely. Wherever you would usually find chrome, you get gloss black, and then you’ve got Black Edition badging and Jet Black Beluga leather interior. It’s a Bentley. That means that everything here is stylish and elegant enough to justify the price tag. But what really makes this SUV look slick is the accents. You pick one of the following colors:

• Mandarin
• Signal Yellow
• Klein Blue
• Pillar Box Red
• Ice
• Hyper Green
• Beluga

Bentley then applies your chosen color inside and out. You get some sweet striping from bumper to bumper, and they even paint the brake calipers for you. Inside, your chosen color is applied to the piping, stitching, leather accents, and ambient lighting. The effect is just plain cool, adding a tasteful splash of color throughout the otherwise black interior and exterior, like neon lights glowing in the night.

Ford F-150 Lightning

The all-electric F-150 Lightning’s first real special edition model is a Platinum Black, limited to 2,000 units. It’s a matte black wrap with agate gloss accents, roof and door handles, and a smoked light bar, which lends the whole thing a rugged, futuristic look. Inside, you’ll find black Nirvana leather, black-on-black Lightning badging, and numbered plaques to show off to your friends.

The Platinum Black Edition is based on the top-of-the-line Platinum model, so you’re getting the extended 320-mile battery pack and an AWD configuration delivering 580 hp and 775 lb-ft torque for 8,500 pounds of towing capacity. The Black Platinum Edition is priced at an MSRP of $97,995, a full six thousand bucks more than the standard Platinum edition. Reservations opened in early 2024 and may be fresh out by the time you read this. Ford is also reducing production of its electric truck, so don’t expect to see another Black Platinum Edition anytime soon.

Dodge Challenger

The Black Ghost Dodge Challenger has such a cool name that you kind of want to buy one based on that alone. But it also has one of the most aggressive black-on-black looks we’ve seen. This is one of seven “Last Call” models, commemorating the end of the line for gas-powered Chargers and Challengers. It features this awesome gator-skin vinyl decal on the roof. The name and the look pay tribute to the 1970 Dodge Challenger RT SE of the same name, owned by Godfrey Qualls.

You’ve got a pitch-black exterior with a Midnight Metallic grille badge, Satin Carbon Warp Speed wheels, and black Alcantara/Laguna leather seats inside. The steering wheel is Alcantara, too, with a red SRT logo. The car itself is essentially a Challenger Hellcat Widebody, with a 6.2-liter V8 cranking out 807 hp, but it did receive a mechanical upgrade from the base model in the form of six-piston Brembo brake calipers and a 3.09:1 rear axle ratio. Dodge only made 300 of these.

BMW 8 Series

BMW produced just 20 Frozen Black Edition 8 Series and sent them all to Japan. If you want to count each individual edition of a car as its own thing, the Frozen Black 8 Series wouldn’t even qualify as a production model, as that 20-unit total is split between coupes and Gran Coupes, launched at $135,340 and $135,240 respectively, based on 2021 exchange rates for the Japanese yen.

Under the black paint, it’s just a stock model based on the 840i with no mechanical upgrades. Everything from the paint to the brake calipers to the tailpipes is black, and inside, you’ll find a black Alcantara roof liner with black Merino leather and black piano trim. Outside the BMW logos on the wheels, it’s honestly hard to find anything on this car that isn’t black, and the resulting look is rather bold in its aggressive simplicity.

Rolls-Royce Ghost

Urban Automotive got its hands on the Rolls-Royce Ghost after the car debuted at SEMA 2023 and gave it a blacked-out treatment aiming for “imposing presence and understated elegance.” The all-black Ghost is defined by a lot of carbon fiber, including a naked carbon fiber splitter, and some milled billet aluminum for the exhaust. These pieces are all hand-crafted at Urban Automotive’s Milton Keynes headquarters. Under the hood you’ve got the 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 for 563 hp, or you can upgrade that to 592 with the Ghost Black Badge model.

As trendy as black-on-black is right now, when it’s paired with the classy profile of a Rolls-Royce, it looks sort of timeless. With a few tweaks, you wouldn’t think twice about having seen this car at a dealership twenty years ago or seeing it twenty years from now.

BMW X6

Photos and videos can’t really do justice to Vantablack. Seeing a Vantablack car in person is like throwing a black hole into a room; it seems to absorb light right out of the atmosphere. Black has always been BMW’s most popular color, so this pairing was inevitable. Vantablack isn’t a color; it’s a nanostructure paint finish developed by Surrey NanoSystems to keep stray light from entering telescopes.

When BMW unveiled a Vantablack X6 in Frankfurt, it was the first time Vantablack VBX2 had been applied to a wheeled passenger vehicle. BMW showcased the car by casting ambient light around it, so you’re not even looking at the BMW; you’re seeing an absence of light against a blue backdrop. Surrey NanoSystems had been turning automakers down for years, finally agreeing to partner up with BMW based on the car’s design being such a good match for the paint.

Alfa Romeo Giulia And Stelvio Quadrifoglio Super Sport

Alfa Romeo recently debuted a pair of special editions, an all-black Stelvio Quadrifoglio and an all-black Giulia Quadrifoglio. The Super Sports, set for a production run of just 450 units, is intended to honor the automaker’s first Mille Miglia win back in 1928. These cars mark the end of the brand’s turbocharged V6 era, so it’s kind of a bittersweet commemoration.

The Super Sports pack a 2.9-liter V6 tuned up to 520 hp, and the body has been built from lightweight materials with lots of aluminum and carbon fiber throughout. At a glance, it might just look like a black Quadrifoglio. Take a closer look, and you’ll spot all the little touches. Centro Stile redesigned the four-leaf clover logo, as were the black brake calipers and the 3D-printed red carbon fiber finishing on the interior. The Super Sports are a pair of subtle, understated works of art.

Dodge Durango SRT

Part of Durango’s own Last Call lineup, the Hellcat-powered 2024 SRT 392 AlcHEMI commemorates the SUV’s final ICE-powered generation with a run of 1,000 units. Four exterior finishes are available, but you’re probably after the Diamond Black edition.

The AlcHEMI comes with 20-inch forged SRT wheels finished in Satin Black, a leather-trimmed steering wheel with a red SRT logo and LEDs, yellow and silver stitching throughout, plus yellow calipers and honeycomb-textured stripes with yellow accents. The AlcHEMI sells for $89,795, and Dodge has brought the Horsepower Locator back, so you can find a Last Call model for yourself. But, act fast. They’re still rolling these out, but supplies are very limited.

Jeep Gladiator Nighthawk

The 2024 Jeep Gladiator Sport NightHawk package was launched to celebrate the total solar eclipse earlier this year. The SUV itself is just a standard Gladiator Sport, but the black-out color scheme is much, much more than simple all-black paint. The extra touches include black bumper accents, black-painted aluminum wheels with all-terrain tires, and deep-tinted windows, so you can keep the cabin nice and cool no matter how harsh the sun is beating down on you.

The NightHawk is also available in colors including Firecracker Red, Granite Crystal, and Hydro Blue, but it was clearly designed with black or Anvil paint in mind, so it doesn’t make a lot of sense to grab one of these and paint it red. The NightHawk is limited to just 2,000 units, with a starting MSRP of $43,190, $5,295 more than a standard Jeep Gladiator Sport. Orders opened up in April 2024, so move fast if you’re thinking of grabbing one of these for yourself.
