In the exclusive world of luxury automobiles, an exceptional creation is redefining the rules. The Rolls-Royce Sweptail embodies the quintessence of refinement, bespoke design, and craftsmanship at its peak. This one-of-a-kind masterpiece, crafted for a particularly discerning client, is a statement of absolute exclusivity.
A BESPOKE CREATIONThe Sweptail is a model born from the production lines of Rolls-Royce. It is the result of a specific commission by an enthusiast of luxury automobiles and yachts. This visionary client, whose identity remains confidential, worked for four years in collaboration with the brand's design team to create a car that fulfills his dreams.
Inspired by Rolls-Royce models from the 1920s and 1930s, as well as luxury yachts of the era, the Sweptail boasts a sleek and elegant silhouette, akin to a rolling sculpture. The most striking detail is undoubtedly its tapered rear, reminiscent of a boat's stern, which gives the car its name. This unique approach reimagines the classic lines of the automobile to create a functional work of art.
A SPECTACULAR EXTERIOR DESIGNEvery inch of the Sweptail is a testament to exceptional craftsmanship. Its majestic front end features the iconic Rolls-Royce grille—the largest ever made—entirely machined from a solid block of aluminum and hand-polished to achieve an unparalleled shine.The profile is defined by a panoramic glass roof, a unique, unprecedentedly long piece that stretches from the windshield to the rear. This glass canopy floods the interior with natural light, creating an atmosphere of openness and serenity.The rear of the vehicle, with its tapered shape and brushed aluminum finishes, gives the car a look that is both nautical and futuristic.
AN INTERIOR LIKE NO OTHER

The design is completed with polished aluminum accents and minimalist controls, reflecting a philosophy of streamlined elegance.
TIMELESS ENGINEERING
Under the hood, the Rolls-Royce Sweptail remains true to the brand's technical excellence. It is powered by a 6.75-liter V12 engine, delivering majestic power and offering an unparalleled smooth driving experience. While raw performance is not the primary focus of this car, the Sweptail moves with a grace and authority that affirm its status as a world-class vehicle.
THE PRICE OF EXCLUSIVITY
The cost of the Sweptail is as spectacular as its design. With an estimated price of $13 million, it has long been regarded as the most expensive new car ever built. This amount reflects not only the bespoke craftsmanship and luxurious materials but also the story it tells: a personal vision brought to life with perfection.
