The Baddest Rolls Royce You Are Ever Likely to See

Rolls Royce Coupe

The conservative looks employed by all models in the Rolls Royce brand have always failed to truly excite me. That was until today when we received a few pictures of this extravagantly styled model in our inbox which we are told is a $1,000,000 highly modded 1995 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit MKIV. Closer inspection shows a roofline reminiscent of the Nissan 350Z leading us to believe the Japanese sportscar provides the base with a Rolls Royce Grille attached to the front.

Of course crazy modifications like this one in not unheard of in coachbuilder circles, you may remember something similar by a Lithuanian specialist based on the Mercedes CL Class.

From the front quarter view, it looks like a Nissan 350Z with a Rolls Royce grill and hood.

Angela Jolie lips, Jennifer Aninston nose, J-Lo booty - and you get one heck of a Frankenstein. I think the guy needs to finish the car by making the rear C-pillar and roofpillar more conducive to the Rolls Royce image.

That's what I was thinking. It's a 350Z with a Rolls front.

Yeah it's definitely a 350Z rear end but seriously- WTF?!?!? The rear doesn't suit the front at all! It's like saying "Hey! Why don't I glue the front half of this Hummer to the rear end of my F430?!?!?"!

The front aint so bad, but the rear is absolute garbage. First glance you'd swear that it was a heavly modified 350z with a RR front clip.

Ultimate gangstar mobile. I can't really tell if it is ugly or really good looking, but I would take an order!

i am sure RR and BMW are real happy. Well maybe BMW is as it is about the same as a Bangle design.

It was done by Dilip Chhabria based on Pune, India for a customer in London with Indian Origin. He is alleged to have used an old Rolls. DC has good designs to his credits, as much as bad ones too. But its his customer who customs tells him to custom. Highlights of DC's works are Aston Martin V8 Vantage concept (designed by Aston Martin, but built by DC), Dacia Logan Steppe, Chevy beat etc.

sorry for bad grammar, forgot to correct it. Kindly ignore.

forgot to add that, Chevy beat concept was designed in Korea, but built by DC in Pune, India.

That isn't a 350z. It's absolutely huge!

Hideous. Not at all "CEXI," as the license plate insists.

With the money you would spend to make a conversion like that you could probably get a much nicer factory car. I just dont see the logic, even if you were rich there are so many options but i guess the unique status of a car like that has some appeal. Although jesus, talk about sticking out like a sore thumb.

This looks like something out of a Batman film.

this has been in and around Mayfair for ages, saw it 2 years ago outside the Dorchester. Looks horrific... Waste of money, a mere statement to all who see it that the driver has no taste whatsoever!

Buy a Weisman and be done with it.

Would have have thought there was a more vulgar waste of $1m then torching it?

Is it that one certain Lithuanian mad man attacking defenseless cars again?! This guy must be stoped.

That made a hip Nissan Z, turn into an English Luxury automobile. Colors and tastes should not be discussed, but give props to this, cuz not many people have the mind to achieve this.

Now I see why they put a 'C' instead of 'S' for the number plate. =)

"The Baddest Rolls Royce You Are Ever Likely to See".. indeed, it's very bad, in fact IT'S AWFUL!.

The front is good but i think the designer fell asleep on the rear. It shouldn't try to tapper (sp?) to a point and it shouldn't slope so much it looks too long and pointy at the back. Awful. Maybe if you do want it longer chop it like a saloon rather than slope?

the front is absolutely beautiful whereas the back looks like a mess, whats going on here. when i saw the picture, i thought what everyone else was thinking, "350Z modded with a Rolls Royce grill"
