Rolls-Royce builds the world’s most expensive car

Presented at this weekend past 2017 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Italy, dubbed the Sweptail because of its swept back reminiscent of the design used by Rolls-Royce of the 1920s, it is said to have the cost in the vicinity of $12,800,000.

Of course, disclosing the price tag would be crude. However, the CEO of Rolls-Royce Torsten Müller-Otvös believes that it is the most expensive new car ever sold, Autocar reports.


Rolls-Royce design boss Giles Taylor along with customized Rolls-Royce Customization Department worked closely with the customer for a four-year period on the project. Already owner of one-off superyacht and private jets, he approached Rolls-Royce with the desire for a distinctive two-seater grand torpedo that he could add to his collection.

To support Sweptail is a coupe Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead. Mechanisms remain intact, which means there's still a 6.75-liter V-12 under the hood to make 453 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque.This combined with the 8-speed automatic transmission and rear wheel drive.


But all you can see and touch have been replaced with indigenous elements. The front is the largest grid of every Rolls-Royce. Milled from a single piece of aluminum and meticulously hand-polished to a mirror. More aluminum is used to frame the front and back band and buckle. Also on the roof is a large panoramic glass elements.
