If you do a site search for stuff relating to wax or shiny paint, I'm sure you'll find some great advice on how to make any color look that good.

To more directly answer your question, the black on this car is less glossy than it appears in photos, but the black is definitely not metallic. If you like dark colors, Cyber Grey is a winner because greys and silvers don't show dirt as much and it has a dark, aggressive tone.
colour sanding. That's how they got the black to look so good, though I doubt they would go to that length on a produciton car.
