Default DC Design Rolls Royce Coupe



Thursday 12 October 2006


After the huge response we experienced with the DC Design three-door Cayenne, we thought it’d be a good idea to put up some new images of one of the design company’s previous “masterpieces”, a Rolls Royce inspired coupe. Official details are scarce, but we believe the car is based on the original RR Silver Spirit saloon and created for an owner whose design brief was to build a Rolls Royce that would shock anyone who looked at it. The exterior has obviously been heavily modified with an eye to Nissan’s 350z, but it also looks like the interior has undergone cosmetic surgery.

Real life images of the vehicle caught outside a top London hotel were posted earlier this year by UK’s Auto Express, but these new images reveal much greater detail. The real life images show a vehicle that doesn’t match the glamour of these studio shots and comments from those who’ve seen the pictures range from “what a beautiful coupe” to “it makes me want to barf.” We especially like the gullwing style doors and new light clusters. If you can’t wait for the new RR coupe that’s due for production next year, you could always contact India’s DC Design to build you one now. What do you think - lovely or ugly?

Yeah it does look like a Z from behind.

I like it but the concept kind of reminds me of when Cadillac attempts to come out with sports coupe or something.
