Introduction
Priced at approximately $13,000,000 (around AED 47,750,000), the Rolls Royce Sweptail stands as a testament to the company's exceptional craftsmanship, inspired by the vision of a single enthusiast of luxury automobiles. Unveiled at the Villa d'Este event in Italy, the story of the Sweptail dates back to 2013 when an anonymous individual approached the company to design one of the most luxurious cars ever, to complement their private yacht and jet.
Vehicle Design
Design Inspiration
The design of the Sweptail draws inspiration from several Rolls Royce models, including:
- 1925 Rolls Royce Phantom | With a round door
- 1934 Phantom | The salon
- 1934 Phantom Gurney Nutting
At first glance, the Sweptail epitomizes ultimate elegance, featuring the Phantom's iconic grille and sleek lines that extend along its body and sloping roof.
Exterior Design
Its exterior design, reminiscent of luxury yachts, is reflected in the vehicle's rear shape and elongated body, giving it an unforgettable appearance. The gradient design flows from the window lines to the rear end, culminating in an elegant rear taper, which is the reason behind its name, Sweptail.
Interior Cabin
The vehicle boasts one of the largest and most complex glass roofs ever created, allowing occupants to enjoy natural light that illuminates the exquisite design of ebony and polished Paldao wood. The interior features a two-tone color scheme of light beige and dark brown, emphasizing simplicity to highlight the luxury materials used throughout.
Luxury Features
As a bespoke vehicle crafted for a single owner, the cabin is equipped with a carbon fiber-wrapped leather bag containing the owner's personal laptop, along with a custom-built mechanism that serves their favorite beverage with two glasses at the push of a button.
