A new RR bespoke was just unveiled. I think the front end is absolutely sick-making on the stomach, but the body is pure sexlegance (sex + elegance). This is a one-off specially commissioned Rolls for one buyer which took 4 years to build by hand.

Nope. Doesn't do it for me. Maybe the interior.

Negative id rather invest my money. I cant imagine how much value its going to lose once it leaves the lot.

Wow!
An interesting irony to the new design.
Billy Mitchell paid homage to RR with the rear end styling of the 1980 Seville, (Hooper Body).
Now, 37 years later, RR pays homage to Billy Mitchell with Bespokes rear end design, ala Mitchell's 1963 Corvette Stingray
& repeated again by Mitchell for the 1971 Buick Riviera!
I am sorry Mitchell is no longer with us, he would be very honored to see this Rolls!

Exquisite!

I don't think people who can afford this care about resale value or investments. :chuckle:

In an above post I made, I cited the rear styling of the RR in question to Billy Mitchell's 1963 Stingray & 1971 Silver Arrow (Boat tail) designs of the past.
I did not know the last design study Mitchell did for GM was the 1977 Pontiac Phantom Concept. Besides the Phantom name, check out the rear end styling
to see how obvious Billy Mitchell's rear design was the key inspiration to the RR folks!

This car is hideous. The front end turns me off to the whole car... disgusting and gaudy.
