Rolls-Royce Sweptail Fun Facts

How much do you know about the most expensive Rolls-Royce? The one-of-a-kind car was designed and realized over the course of years. As in the world’s most exquisite works of art, the Rolls-Royce Sweptail is a work of utter inspiration honed through disciplined patience. Here’s what you need to know:

1. The Rolls-Royce Sweptail is the single most expensive car on the entire planet. An absolutely exquisite luxury car might mean you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars. Perhaps even a million. The Sweptail scoffs at measurements like that, with a price tag of $12.8 million.
2. The Sweptail takes its inspiration from the 1920s and 30s. These include the original Phantom I and Phantom II designs.
3. The Sweptail draws on yacht design. The stern is raked in a way that accentuates speed, and the center brake light is housed within a rear taper that dramatically finishes in a “bullet tip.” Each of these features is found in the world’s fastest racing yachts.
4. In another nod to yachts, the bodywork possesses no underneath edge. Instead, it wraps under the car. This visual evokes the hull of a ship racing through water.
5. The interior features beautiful polished macassar ebony complemented by open-pore paldao. This creates a fantastic color scheme that alternates dark and light colors each embodied in exquisite textures.
6. You can’t find the Rolls-Royce Sweptail on any dealership floor. As the most expensive Rolls-Royce, one was only created upon request. This preserves the vehicle’s ultra-rarity and ensures it is bespoke unto its client.
7. Who is that client, you might ask. Well, that’s a secret. The owner of the Rolls-Royce Sweptail is anonymous. Even their country of origin is a secret. In this age of personal details getting shared everywhere, it’s impressive that Rolls-Royce maintains this kind of elite privacy.
8. This client specified what they wanted in the ultra-luxury car. Not even a cost was decided ahead of time. The design and customizations from the client were specific, and Rolls-Royce saw to it that every detail was achieved. Price was not a consideration.
9. Rolls-Royce and its artisans found a great deal of satisfaction in the creation of a one-of-a-kind car, tailored exactly to its owner/designer. They certainly will be considering creating additional unique orders in the future.
