Well as long as the bloke is willing to pay for and is happy that is enough for him.

Christ, what a THING!

[capttrousers]

one question..... How much ? It has to be stratospheric , surely?

[rare6499]

I believe it cost between 8-10 million.

It's based on a Phantom Coupe which I think was the owners already...it doesn't share anything with the upcoming Phantom...

Awful to look at in these pics.

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.

Must have been Stevie Wonder...

Love it. What a beast.

Hideous, but I still find it very cool that proper coach building is possible from the factory in this day and age.

Agreed.
Like it or loath it, it's different. That's worth celebrating.

This proves you can't polish a turd.
I live near the RR, sorry VW, factory & see these ugly brick-like monsters being driven on test & their presence despoils the lovely Sussex countryside.

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

I don't know if one-offs of crass tat will make it to Type 57 Atlantique levels of fame.

[audidoody]

The depreciation on that will be epic. And the insurance and VED.

The Wraith is ugly enough from the rear and horribly proportioned. It's nice to see a change but this is too much.

But I suppose it's 1 of 1 and the owner will be very pleased.

I like that, but its a bit silly having only two seats in such a big old barge

The plate O8 is currently on a 2015 Cayenne hybrid.

Just sayin'...
