In the event that cash were no question, what sort of auto would you purchase? Many individuals would likely pick an awesome games auto, or even a supercar or hypercar. Others may choose a more viable extravagance vehicle and tick every one of the choices, similar to the Tesla Demonstrate S P100D. Yet, paying little heed to your genuine budgetary circumstance, we as a whole essentially approach this fantasy situation a similar route: some place on the planet there's an auto that we need more than all the others. 

For the wealthiest individuals on the planet, however, this diversion has an altogether extraordinary arrangement of standards. Yes, in the event that you have enough cash — I'm talking island-purchasing, fly flying, so-rich-that-one-minute-spent-choosing autos would-really cost-you-cash rich — you can evidently pay Rolls-Royce to design an auto for you. 

Truly, READ THE Official statement 

That is the story the organization is educating, in any case, regarding the new "Sweptail" car that was revealed this previous week at the yearly Concorso d'Eleganza Estate d'Este occasion in Italy. As indicated by a (fabulously baroque) 2,500-in addition to word press release issued by the organization, an exceptionally rich man who sees himself as a "specialist and authority of particular, coincidental things including super-yachts and private flying machine" came to Rolls-Royce in 2013 with a demand: would the automaker be so kind as to make a bespoke auto for him?

Four years and a reported $13 million later, and the answer to that question is in the official press pictures below, which show off what is ostensibly the most expensive new car ever purchased. 

The Sweptail is named after the tapered “swept tail” rear ends that helped make the company’s Phantoms famous in the early 20th century. In fact, many of its design elements were plucked from some of those iconic coupes. The Sweptail borrows from the round door look of the 1925 Phantom I, the silhouette of the 1934 Phantom II Streamline Saloon, and the swept tail designs of cars like the 1934 Gurney Nutting Phantom II Two Door Light Saloon.

Of course, this car’s got plenty of 21st century touches, too. The panoramic glass roof makes the one on the Tesla Model X look like a sunroof — there’s practically nothing blocking this mystery buyer’s skyward view while he drives (or gets chauffeured) around town. (Or, as Rolls-Royce put it, “What a place to be as one watches the world slip by through the vast windows and roof, detached from the outside world in a cocoon of luxury whilst feeling one is part of that passing landscape.”)

The interior is lined with “generous quantities” of polished Macassar Ebony and open-pore Paldao wood, because modest amounts of those materials are obviously out of the question. The analog clock in the dash uses machined titanium. The center console hides a champagne chiller and two crystal flutes. Instead of a hidden umbrella, like in the Dawn, the car’s side walls conceal a pair of carbon fiber attaché cases that have been specifically designed to fit the buyer’s laptop, and they match a set of custom luggage found in the trunk. There’s even a shelf for his hat.

So the next time that dream car crosses your mind, remember that you could actually dream even bigger if you had enough money to bend the rules. Who knows? Maybe someday you will. If the last two years on this Earth have taught us anything, it’s that everything is possible. Especially a custom-built Rolls-Royce with a built-in champagne cooler.
