RE: One-off Rolls-Royce 'Sweptail' announced

[Patrick Bateman]

From the rear wheel back just doesn't look right, too bulbous.

[aaron_2000]

Honestly I think it's absolutely stunning

[aaron_2000]

Just look at the craftsmanship in that interior!

[Pdelamare]

I like it actually. Doesn't seem that badly proportioned really and the roof and tail is quite spectacular.

[Fire99]

Rear - Good
Front - Monsterous and square abomination.

Put the two together.... Not great at all.

[B17NNS]

Good god thats ugly.

Bizarrely I quite like the side profile.

Me too, I think it works ok. The front is pretty fugly though. Vision (or rather lack of) through the rear window would make most supercars blush as well.

Reminds me of the 1950's RR or Bentley coupes, stuff that's missing from the conti GT and Wraith in fact.

Thanks Mr. Rich Patron for injecting a little panache into the world...

OooooO marmite time.
FWIW, I like it anyhoos.

[J4CKO]

I like it, does look at first glance like it has a roof rack on though.

[myhandle]

Interesting car, I like one-offs.

More interestingly though, does this preview elements of the upcoming Phantom VIII, and is it built on the new platform?

[Mannasaurus Rex]

Wasn't there a thread recently about awkwardly proportioned coupes...?

[rtz62]

The only way I could make the proportions not look like something a 10 year old with a crayon might have designed was to turn my iPad at an angle
Truth be told it would look better if the screen was turned 180 degrees away from me; the rear looks like a constipated hippo trying to have a dump...

Looks glorious. Bunch of luddites on here always get upset when something doesn't resemble a 20 year old Griffith with Cavalier taillights.

Oh dear, oh dear... how could they get it so wrong...?

Alternatively I imagine they got it absolutely spot-on as it is a design to suit a single customer's bespoke tastes.

If it wasn't 100% right for him he probably wouldn't have commissioned the build.

Facelift Jag F-Type?

I don't want to put down autocars photoshop skills but that pretty much is just a hash-up of an f-type with Bentley lights and wheels and that's it.

[AshBurrows]

The guy commissioned the TRS. Which worked much better.

[bomb]

Overtones of the Morgan Aeromax at the rear.

[MIDangerfield]

For some reason Sir Mixalots's Baby Got Back came in to my head when I saw this. I hope it's got reversing sensors!
