The Rolls Royce Hyperion was designed and built by Pininfarina for a private client who wanted a unique Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé. The Rolls Royce Hyperion is based on the chassis of the Drophead Coupé but numerous changes have been implemented most notably the steering wheel has been pushed back forty centimeters and the rear seats have been removed, the elongated hood features two compartments used for storage directly in front of the windscreen. The interior remains largely unchanged except for the Rolls Royce dashboard clock has now been replaced with a custom made Girard Perregaux Tourbillon which fits onto a special mount on the dashboard and can be worn as a wristwatch. The body of the car has been completely redesigned and is made of carbon fiber with the front end and grille getting a more modern touch.
