Rolls-Royce Phantom for £1million

Convertibles don’t come much more exclusive than Rolls-Royce’s Phantom Drophead Coupé. And with a price tag of £305,000, it’s a rare sight on UK roads – but that’s not enough for one super-rich collector, who has commissioned this unique machine from legendary Italian coachbuilder Pininfarina.

The one-off car will get a completely new body, as you can see from this striking teaser image. Said to be inspired by pre-war Rolls-Royce models such as the original Phantom, it promises to be even more imposing than the official machine thanks to an aerodynamic shape featuring a swept-back windscreen and sculpted flanks.

Rumour has it that the car will carry a fitting badge, too – Hyperion, which comes from ancient Greek mythology and means ‘the god of the sun’. As well as a unique body, the Hyperion is likely to get a bespoke cabin – although it will be interesting to see how Pininfarina ‘improves’ on the already incredibly luxurious four-seater interior of the existing Drophead Coupé.

One area of the car that the coachbuilder is unlikely to touch is the mechanicals. The Hyperion will be powered by the standard 453bhp 6.75-litre V12 engine, resulting in a 0-60mph time of around six seconds and a top speed approaching 150mph.

Given the price of the ‘basic’ Phantom Drophead Coupé, it’s difficult to imagine just how costly the bespoke Rolls-Royce will be – but we suspect that the unnamed owner will be lucky to see any change from £1million. However, the Hyperion is not the first enormously expensive coachbuilt car. It follows in the footsteps of the Ferrari P4/5, a Ferrari Enzo rebodied by Pininfarina in the style of the Prancing Horse’s Sixties’ racers at the request of a US stock magnate, James Glickenhaus.

Not including the ‘donor’ Enzo, the project is rumoured to have cost around £2m. Meanwhile, the wraps are expected to come off the hand-built Hyperion at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in the US in August.

Mutec RR01 1100mm Phantom Limousine

The Rolls-Royce Phantom makes people stop what they're doing and wonder A.) what celebrity you are, B.) why you look so different in person than you do on television, and C.) what the hell you're doing at the local Dairy Queen. We got a taste of this last Summer. It's fun. If the standard Phantom is not enough of an attention-getter for you,

Mutec will take your car, add a divider behind the front seats, and stretch it an additional 1100mm (43 inches) to make it a proper limousine. This also makes it the approximate length of a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, but what do you care? You won't be driving anyway. You'll be in back with three friends (or celebrities, or world leaders, or captains of industry), enjoying the revamped, face-to-face 4-seat configuration while you sip bubbly, broker multimillion-dollar handshake deals and gossip about how Jay-Z's Maybach is so completely pedestrian.

2008 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe

Since 2004, Rolls-Royce has been teasing the arrival of a new convertible under the guise of the concept 100EX. At the 2007 Detroit auto show in January, the teasing is no more - and the Phantom Drophead Coupé will arrive in production-ready form.

The Drophead is a four-seat, two-door convertible version of the existing Phantom sedan. And it's a step out of the normal Rolls box for the British luxe brand, with softer exterior style and more modern lines. Like the Phantom sedan, it's built on an aluminum space frame. And underhood is the stock Rolls-Royce 6.75-liter, V-12 engine, which the brand says will launch the Drophead to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds.

Stunning details include the brushed steel hood and A-pillar from the 100EX concept shown in 2004, and the teak decking for the convertible top stow area. Trunk space is unaffected by the top storage, Rolls promises. The doors are rear-hinged, as the rear doors are on the Phantom.

Rolls says the Drophead will go into production in the summer of 2007. U.S. prices will start from $407,000.
