Some, like King Juan Carlos of Spain, can do exactly that, and this is his latest lobster: a blackout-remixed Audi RS6 sedan. About the only things not given the midnight treatment are the headlights, taillights, and signal indicators on the mirrors. Even the exhaust tips are black. <\/p>\n<p> A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.typicallyspanish.com\/news\/publish\/article_21861.shtml\">book last year alleged<\/a> that the king owned 71 cars and had a team of 65 attendants to care for them. If true, this one makes a worthy 72nd. Somehow we don&#8217;t think the royal standards and light bars mounted behind the grille are normal Audi options &#8211; but we might ask next time we stop by the showroom.
