Rolls-Royce Sweptail, Worth $12.8 Million, Unveiled at Villa d’Este

[ABX]

Enough of the nasty Kathy Griffin threads. Here is something to cleanse your soul.

If you have the means, the skilled coachbuilders at Rolls-Royce will build anything your heart desires. Last year, the design team released project 103EX as an example of what they are capable of. Inspired by the concept, an avid Rolls-Royce collector approached the factory with grand idea. A two seat coupe with a panoramic roof and a boat tail body.

Based on what? Wishful thinking?

Craftsman labor. These aren't stamped out by machine. They hire artists and craftsmen to hand hammer out all the body panels, carve every single piece of wood inlay, and hand stitch the leather. Not to mention, actual engine builders crafting her from scratch.

Compared to even a regular Rolex, this is a Richard Mille Tourbillon. (Google it if you aren't into watches).

A beautiful machine.

I'm not sure that even if I had that kind of dough to spend...
Well, hell, yes, I probably would.
Especially if it's a chick magnet.

You could buy a 1000+ HP Bugatti Veyron and have over $10 million, left over.

But the fastest car is the Koenigsegg One, at $6 million-- with still over $6 million left over (not sure on this price)

Koenisegg beats Bugatti over and over
