Rolls Royce Sweptail is an exclusive coupe, that the luxury car manufacturer has been creating for a customer since 2013.
The customer who commissioned the exclusive car wanted the vehicle’s swept tail rear end to echo classic 1920s and 1930s Rolls’.
It was the client’s desire to have a coachbuilt two-seater coupe with a large panoramic glass roof.
The Rolls Royce connoisseur had very exacting standards and specifications for the unique vehicle.Rolls Royce described the car in possibly the most flamboyant description a motor vehicle has been given.
“The grandeur, scale, flamboyance and drama of the 1925 Phantom I Round Door built by Jonckheere; the svelte tapering glasshouse, dramatic dash to axle proportion and up-sweep of the rear departure angle of the 1934 Phantom II Streamline Saloon by Park Ward,
“The elegantly falling waist-rail, swept tail coachwork of the 1934 Gurney Nutting Phantom II Two Door Light Saloon, and the flowing roofline, rising departure angle, and again the swept tail coachwork of the 1934 Park Ward 20/25 Limousine Coupé were all considered by today’s Rolls-Royce designers in the creation of this very distinctive motor car.”We’re not really sure what all that means either but what we do know is that it is one delightful looking car. The commissioner for this car also purchases exclusive yachts and in someway it looks like this has been an inspiration for the vehicle’s design.
It’s ostentatious, grand, long, luxury, completely and unnecessarily over the top but ultimately it’ll make your head turn.
One of the coolest features of the car is the two identical panniers that deploy to reveal an attach case, which was designed to specifically house the owner’s laptop.
