Wow, I guess my GT isn't so ugly now in comparison

I admire the craftsmanship despite it's rather odd design. Apparently besides all the openable parts, the whole body is one single panel. That is a remarkable feat no doubt.

However, two things. Could they have not picked a more unique (and nicer) wheel setup? It almost feels like the regular Rolls Royce wheels are too "cheap" for this car. Plus, they could've been a little bit bigger, no? The other thing is, with two rear seats and such a high roofline, what is even going on in the back then? :

Well, people dont judge others for not having taste, they're subjective.

I thought the future of car design was dead until I saw the new Rolls Royce.

I might be a minority, but I love this design.

The $13M Rolls Royce is what happens if South East Asia didn't exist to make our stuff. The BMW 8-series is what happens after South East Asia exist to make our stuff. Next time you say make everything American we will get less and pay more. Probably the best American jobs would be service such as engineering and operator work. If you do customer service such as a receptionist after you went to college, it's because.. I mean if the 8-series had the grills with close dual slats like the 6-series and the color to be a bit darker it would have been nicer but I think they were after the concept appeal like how the FRS prototype was but the BRZ/FRS looked nothing like it but a Celica. That prototype look is reserved for the Lexus divison. I can't believe no one bothered to modify the exterior to look like the prototype or better. All the modifications are bumpers or additions from what it looks like (Rocket Bunny). I mean it's plastic surgery but I'm not saying do it to the body unless you have extreme skin face sag from a removed huge tumor where removing the extra skin is good but if people are going to hardcore chop up the exterior to fit the rocket bunny kit and there are people who actually chop up exteriors to make a limo when there are a lot of custom talented workers in the world that the prototype or better doesn't exist. I assume the people who have the talent to do that skip that are altogether and get a Lamborghini Hurracan or a GTR and modify that and track day with them. Why waste time on something so basic when you can do it on stuff advanced and do other things?

To me, the front ensemble of the Sweptail requires rectangular headlights.
But no. If I had $13 million to blow on a bespoke Roller, I'd do it very differently.

Cadillac's concept cars are also much better than this Rolls humpback ambulance.

I suspect this guy designed the Roller abomination himself. Hell, it even makes a Tesla look refined.

First, what's with the cardboard cutout of the ocean behind the rolls on the platform?



It just looks tacky.

Second, wow. It's like the 'The Homer'. A $13 million car that you couldn't give away.



I know i'm beating a dead horse, but that's a face only a mother could love!

The fenders extend in front of the bumper? Hmmm, not that this car will ever be driven but what would happen in any kind of front end crash?

Any men who are willing to spend $13M on a car wont care how the car looks. They just want something unique.

Well, he certainly future-proofed that.

Nobody in their right mind is going to copy that style!

(though, nobody in their right mind is generally going to spend $13m on a car I guess. So Rolls' may have hit their mark with this hideous creation)

Who ever paid 13M for that has taste up their ass. It should have taken 100 years to build that abomination.

Rolls-Royce should also be blamed for building that hideous monstrosity. Henry Royce is quoted as having said "Whatever is rightly done, however humble, is noble."

Well this car is ignoble and not worthy of the company that bears his name.
