Custom-made Rolls Royce could be the most expensive car ever sold
This custom-made Rolls Royce might be the most expensive car ever sold, at a staggering price of $12.8 million.
The car, which has been in the works since 2013, was ordered by a customer described by a Rolls-Royce press release as a “connoisseur and collector of distinctive, one-off items including super-yachts and private aircraft”. He reportedly went to the company and asked to have a car designed in such a fashion it would resemble the classic Rolls-Royces in the 1920s and 1930s.
According to the company, the customer asked for a coach-built coupe with a glass roof.

”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.”
