A few days ago, the most expensive car in the world was the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita at $4.8 million or INR 31 crores. Here's Jay Leno talking about his Trevita:

We say ‘was’ because on the 27th of May, everything changed. Rolls-Royce released the Rolls-Royce Sweptail, a one-of-a-kind car, inspired by their coaches from the 20s and 30s. How much does it cost? A whopping $12.8 million or INR 83 crores. That's more than what all of us together earn in a financial year. What makes it so special? Well, the name for one. What else? Check out this video:

The car is a custom-made two-seat coupe with a panoramic glass sunroof. It has the classic 'Swept Tail' look which is where it gets its name from too.

In the words of the CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Torsten Muller-Otvos, "Sweptail is a truly magnificent car. It exudes the romance of travel for its own sake, and immediately places 'Sweptail' in the pantheon of the world's great intercontinental tourers."

If you are a billionaire and follow MensXP (we're sure there are a couple of you), you're probably making calls trying to place an order for one right now. Unfortunately, you won't be able to get your hands on the Sweptail. No, it's not because you don't meet the 'Rolls-Royce Standard.' It's because they made just one, to-order, for an undisclosed client. It is one-of-a-kind. Perhaps it's time you got your own custom-made Rolls-Royce?

For the rest of us, this video is probably as close as we're ever going to get to the actual car. Yes, it looks just as good in real-life as it did in the reveal trailer above:
