Rolls-Royce has used Italy’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este to unveil a truly-bespoke one-off car commissioned as a tribute to so-called swept-tail Rolls-Royces of the 1920s.
Estimates put the price of the one-off, entirely handcrafted two-seater coupe at between £10-£12 million (A$17.2-$20.6 million) making it the most expensive new car ever commissioned, with the consultation and design process beginning in 2013.
So what does a wholly unique Rolls-Royce include? As expected attention to detail is paramount, with a range of features designed around the Sweptail customer’s requests.
From the outside the Sweptail presents the largest version of Rolls-Royce’ Pantheon grille fitted to modern era car, milled from one piece of solid aluminium and hand-polished to a mirror-finish.
