Images Surface Pininfarina Rolls-Royce Hyperion
Pininfarina announced a couple of months a go that they were working on a special model based on the Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe. With just four days left until the official unveiling at the Concours d’Elegance show at Pebble Beach we can now bring you the first official renderings of the model.
The new model will carry the label Hyperion – a name originating from Greek mythology and it is believed the styling is inspired by classic pre-war Rolls Royces. Under the hood, the same 453bhp 6.75-litre V12 from the Phantom Drophead Coupe can be found allowing the Hyperion to launch from standstill to 60mph in a little under 6 seconds.
The one-off special model is being created for an unnamed super-rich customer, something Pininfarina specialises in – you may remember the mouth-watering Ferrari P4/5 based on the Enzo created by the renowned coachbuilders a couple of years a go.

 The back end looks like a lexus sc430. It's too rounded and lacks the bold chiseled look of the current rolls line.

It doesn't look as bad as in the renderings. The rear is too Excelero-esque - not my style.

Saw it at PB. Didn't hate it, but didn't love it.

I think it looks sweet! The actual pictures make it look much nicer.

It looks like a chinese knock-off of the Drophead. Did not feel it at all.
I really wanted to love it ... but when they uncovered it I was "eh" ... which turned to "ew" when it was on the Concept Lawn.
Very disapointed.
