When the British automobile maker was asked to make a car like no other, they obliged and rose up to the challenge, spending four years to create this one-off masterpiece that takes inspiration from luxury motoring and racing yachts. At a going rate of USD $13 Million, the Rolls-Royce Sweptail is one of the most expensive new cars ever made.

The Rolls-Royce Sweptail sports a V12 engine with a 6.75L displacement and is capable of going from 0 to 60 in 5.6 seconds with a top speed of 150mph. It is able to produce 453 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque. While possessing strong technical capabilities, the true strength of the Sweptail lies in its design. Although based on the Phantom Coupe, the end result is remarkably different. Taking it from the top, or rather the front in those case,  the first variation that unveils itself are the headlights which sport a rounded design in contrast to the Coupe’s rectangular ones. A thin light strip is also featured above each headlight and the clean aesthetic of the front end lends the automaker’s signature “Pantheon” grille a more imposing vibe.

As good as the front section is though, the distinctiveness of the Rolls-Royce Sweptail lies at the back, specifically in the raked stern which proves to be a unique design choice unlike anything else in the automotive industry. The beauty of this design can be seen in the way the roofline of the car narrows as it progresses towards the rear, finally meeting at the tip of the trunk. The idea behind the design is to showcase the nautical inspiration behind the Sweptail. The interior of the car is brought to life using only the finest of materials available in the world today. The seats utilize mocassin and dark spice leather covers and the wood veneer used is poised Macassar Ebony and open-pore Paldao, which are considered to be some of the most luxurious in the world.

All of these details are what makes the Rolls Royce Sweptail one of the most exclusive and expensive cars in the world, a true testament to the company’s skills.
