One-Off Rolls-Royce Pininfarina Hyperion Up For Sale One-Off Rolls-Royce Pininfarina Hyperion Up For Sale
British collector Roland Hall, custom ordered the one-ff Hyperion from Pininfarina back in 2008, and its pretty rare that you see a special creation like this separated from from its original commissioner unless he has passed, but our mates at Carscoop stumbled upon it listed for sale for an undisclosed price at a dealership Abu Dhabi.
Named after one of the Titans of Greek mythology, the Hyperion was designed by Jason Castriota, and built by the Special Projects division of Pininfarina.
All running gear come from the Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe powered by a 6.75-liter V12 engine. With the exception of the doors that were crafted out of solid wood, the rest of the body is made of carbon fiber.

My thoughts exactly. I appreciate and respect the efforts and intent, but the overall result is underwhelming. It's hard to implement swoopy italian lines on a car that's as aerodynamic as a shoebox. That being said, I'd keep my drophead stock. I like the idea of it more than the actual car.
