Rolls-Royce Hyperion Offered for Sale in the United Arab Emirates

If you have €1,730,000 ($1,935,155 at current exchange rates) lying around in your account, you could do lots of things with that kind of dough. Buy a place in Monte Carlo, a yacht, go on a long trip around the world, buy a fleet of cars and start your own rental company, lose everything in Las Vegas, the possibilities are infinite.
However, if you’re in the market for a special means of personal transportation, look no further than the Rolls-Royce Hyperion. It’s a one-off model and I know what you’re thinking right now. “Why is it so droopy eyed?”

Pininfarina is the one to blame or thank for the shape of the headlights, depending on which side you’re on. To be honest with you, the design of the Hyperion is fine by me. It sort of reminds me of the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III with the Chinese Eye design.

The story of the Hyperion started in 2008 when the Phantom Drophead Coupe-based creation was presented at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. According to Rolls-Royce, the Hyperion was commissioned by a gentleman who had €4.5 million (approximately $6 million) to spare on a one-off luxury car. As noted beforehand, the exterior is 100 percent the work of Carozzeria Pininfarina, an Italian coachbuilder that often lends its know-how to Ferrari.

Believe it or not, the bodywork is made of carbon fiber. How about that for a Rolls-Royce? Other than the dissimilarities in exterior design, the Rolls-Royce Hyperion differs from the Phantom Drophead Coupe inside too. The biggest difference is that the Hyperion is a strict two-seat convertible while the Phantom Drophead Coupe can entertain you and three of your buddies.

Albeit controversial, there is something that can’t be denied about the Rolls-Royce Hyperion. That is the artistic expression of this car. If you are one of those lucky few who can afford such a majestic machine, you might want to book a ticket to Dubai because that’s where the Hyperion is located at the present moment.
