Unique Rolls Royce Sweptail Revealed — The World's Most Expensive Car
Rolls Royce Sweptail revealed. The design was inspired by racing yachts and the identity of the person who commissioned it remains a mystery.
The Rolls-Royce Sweptail was revealed at the annual Concorso d'Eleganza in Italy. The one-off Sweptail debuted with a price tag of £10 million (approx. Rs 84 crore) making it the most expensive new car ever commissioned.
The identity of the person who commissioned the bespoke Rolls-Royce remains a mystery. The super-rich client asked Rolls-Royce to build a one-off bespoke motor car with his own idea.
The British car marque has described the client of the ridiculously expensive Sweptail as a "connoisseur and collector of distinctive, one-off items including super-yachts and private aircraft."
The Sweptail looks very much like a modern Rolls-Royce from the front with the bluff front end, thin LED lights and massive chrome grille. However, its the rear profile where the most changes lie; the outline of the car from the side slopes down to a point and the car comes with a very hefty rear overhang.
Despite its massive wheelbase, there's only space for two inside. There is plenty light inside, thanks to the enormous panoramic sunroof.
The cabin is finished in wraps of ‘Moccasin and Dark Spice' leather upholstery, along with ebony and paldao wood veneers. The company claims that the interior is ‘the cleanest dashboard to date'.
Substituting the rear seats on the Rolls-Royce Sweptail is a large expanse of wood creating a mid-shelf with an illuminated glass lip. The car's Rolls-Royce clock is handmade of the thinnest Macassar veneer and titanium hands.
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos said, "Sweptail is a truly magnificent car. It exudes the romance of travel for its own sake, and immediately places 'Sweptail' in the pantheon of the world's great intercontinental tourers."
Rolls-Royce took almost four years to build the one-off Sweptail when the idea was first shared in 2013. The uber-rich client had apparently asked the Sweptail to be influenced from the coach-built two-seater Rollers from the 1920s and 1930s.
