George Lucas Buys the First Darth Vader Car.

It's called the Darth Vader car because of the similarity of its finish and black shiny color with the Darth Vader mask, and because George Lucas bought the first one out of the factory!

The Mosler MT900S costs $203,000 and is a luxury car designed with racing competition in mind.

I would like to point out that Lucas was a car freak in his teens, and that a lot of the racing and chase scenes in the Star Wars and Indiana jones flicks were because he loved racing sports cars.
One of his early student films is shots of cars, and there are race scenes in both American Graffiti and THX 1138.
When he was in grade 12, he crashed a convertible sports car he was driving. The car itself was wrapped around a tree, and the impact was so violent that the racing seatbelt that Lucas had installed was ripped out of the car by the bolts. Lucas spent several weeks in hospital, felt lucky to be alive, and decided to make something of his life. He was failing Grade 12 at the time. He decided to go to film school...
And I think that fucker looks sweet.
