Pininfarina Rolls-Royce Hyperion: first official photos
The Italian coachbuilder has finally revealed its one-off Pininfarina Hyperion cabriolet. The car, which is based on the luxury Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe, is built to order by a RR's aficionado Roland Hall.
As we have already reported, the car features the same standard 453bhp, 6.75-liter V12 engine and sports the 0-60mph acceleration time of some 6 seconds.
As you can see on these pictures, the Pininfarina Hyperion's body doesn't share a single part with the original car. The body parts are mostly made of carbon fiber, except for the doors and the roof cover, which is crafted of solid wood.
Inside the car, the most interesting part is the analogue watch by the Swiss manufacture Girard-Perregaux. Based on its Vintage 1945 Tourbillon with gold Bridge, this is, too, a pretty much expensive one-off. Its white gold case can be easily detached from the dashboard and put on the alligator strap for Mr. Roland Hall's personal use.
I guess this is a rare case of enormous money meeting good taste.
