Rolls Royce is likely to roll out another one-off model

KUALA LUMPUR: Rolls-Royce took everyone by surprise when it unveiled the bespoke $12.8 million Rolls-Royce Sweptail at Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in May 2017. It was simply a true one-off model for somebody who was willing to pay millions of dollars. And, as the automaker claims that all its cars are unique, well, that was actually the real deal. Fast forward to today, it seems like the company is planning to bring the second one in the league.

At this time, Rolls Royce is apparently busy in giving the final touches to the all-new Ghost that will make its global premiere later this year. But as per the sources, this might not be the only model on which the automaker is currently working on. An Instagram page CocheSpias recently posted a video that shows a prototype of a mysterious one-off Rolls-Royce car being tested on roads.

The model is heavily camouflaged, and apart from the full-body camouflage wrap, there also appear to be several false panels. At first glance, it looks like a shooting brake model, but that could be of those panels bewildering us. Unfortunately, the blurred video leaves a lot of things unanswered, but one thing is sure that the front end is a Rolls-Royce. 

Some sources suggest that it would be the one-off shooting brake iteration of the current Rolls-Royce Ghost limousine, while some are connecting it with the patent images of a Rolls Royce model that leaked earlier this year. The images came from a design filing in Brazil, that appeared to be a drop top version of the Sweptail. The renderings showed an entirely different roof design, which looks more like a canvas tent. It has some sort of Porsche Boxster Spyder vibe, which is quite odd for Rolls-Royce. 

Whether it is a bespoke Rolls Royce or just another brand’s model, stay tuned with Zigwheels Malaysia to know.
