British tabloids were quite excited when this 21-year-old Russian fashionista was seen driving a Mercedes-Benz CLS 350 all covered with Swarovski crystals, last year. Sure, when it comes to wedding rings, you probably want to get a real diamond for your future wife, but that doesn’t mean covering an entire car with these luxury accessories comes cheap either.
There was quite a stir for about a week or two with that car. Not only was it covered in precious stones, but the owner was a student who claimed she had people coming from Russia who worked 12 hours a day for two months to finish the wrap. You know what the funny part was? One month later the car showed up on eBay; that’s how long the fairy tale lasted.
This time around, the action seems to take place somewhere else, namely Switzerland judging by the nameplates. There’s also something else different, instead of a Merc we’re dealing with the almighty (which reads remarkably big) Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe. Luckily, the wheels appear to be the only parts of the luxury vehicle to be affected by this rather mad tuning feature.
The YouTuber who filmed the car claims that 1,296 Swarovski crystals were inserted in total that makes the wheels worth about $20,000. To be honest, we find this price quite far-fetched, and that’s because we stumbled upon a tuner called Grandioso Auto Accessories that sells handmade custom wheels with Swarovski Elements with $500 a piece. And that was just a random search, we’re sure you can get better deals too.
On the other hand, this is currently the most expensive Rolls-Royce model on the market, with a stock unit being priced at $533,000. Everything about this luxury limousine is high end, premium feature.
Just take the interior that is a modern avant-garde reinterpretation of the traditional English gentlemen’s clubroom with stylistic influences ranging from minimalism to Art Deco.
However, we still don’t find the Swarovski crystal fitting the bigger picture.
