That's the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this monstrosity. Here's that Buick.

One seat for the driver, one seat for the corpse, trunk for the coffin

Probably this is the very first car he have owned which there was a very deep connection between the car and himself. Only he knows!

If the face catches on, we may be seeing cars driving with huge picture frames at the front. Hopefully not.

Car is registered on island Guernsey, where You can have only two numbers on the plate, like 08

im not sure if this is true in CN/HK, but i know in japan, the ultra wealthy import LHD cars just to flaunt their wealth, even though everyone drives on the left side of the road there

After it left Italy it drove back to Guernsey, one of the UK's Channel Islands.

All new "theft deterrent" designs from Rolls Royce.

Nismo G · 06-09-2017, 08:10 AM

Ugly as it is, I do see the art in it. Front of the car has the very traditional 1940-1960 era front end with the "bug eyes", in a way. Not sure how I feel about the side view, but to have a car company like RR build a custom car for you, money can't buy it. That car will always be worth so much more

WTF?? I just have no words....

It just looks tacky.

Second, wow. It's like the 'The Homer'. A $13 million car that you couldn't give away.

I know i'm beating a dead horse, but that's a face only a mother could love!

lol the rear is so ugly didn't even notice that the front is almost just as bad. Thank goodness it is a one of a kind.

Love the color, the sweptail is certainly interesting. The front is fugly..in fact, I've recently seen a Chrysler 300 that tried to make his car look like a Rolls Royce from the front that was better looking than this car's face. This car will never be driven I'm guessing. Given the rest of the cars the guy has, it won't matter.

That hearse is expensive AF!

PoorLurker · 06-09-2017, 08:10 PM

Luckily it cost $13 million or else no one would have purchased it.

Build unappealing looking car and try to sell for $500k, no one buys.

Build unappealing looking car and try to sell for >$10mm, people buy.

"Oh, look at this exclusive build I just purchased Charlie!"

loveskiing · 06-10-2017, 12:08 AM

Some people are saying that there's rumors going around that BMW is contemplating using this to produce a sweptail m9 but at a fraction of the cost, only 1.3 million Euros...of course it will be limited to "only" 500...
If that's the case better contact your SA to put down your deposit, lest you miss this fantastic opportunity...

I love that Buick! It's a classic. The original one was the Auburn Boattail Speedster, back in the 1930's.

The Rolls coupe is an absolutely hideous car in the first place. Someone nearby has a black and gray one, with black matte wrap and black wheels. I thought that was as ugly as it could get - this Rolls boattail is a mud mask on a pig.

After checking out his instgram it's clear this dude it all about conspicuous consumption but I guess that's probably all you know when you're the son of a billionaire. Basically I'm just jealous.
