Pininfarina yesterday revealed the first teaser of its next creature, a special version of the already aristocratic Rolls–Royce Drophead Coupè.
The Turin specialists have been commissioned by an unknown collector to create an exclusive interpretation of the cabriolet, with the Spirit of Ecstasy on the bonnet.
The model will be the first example created by Pininfarina after the Ferrari P4/5, the personalised job for James Glickenhaus in 2006.
According to the workshop, the supercar should evoke the spirit and charm of the post-war Rolls.
The presentation is expected for the Concours d’Elegance at Pebble Beach, which takes place in August every year at Monterey in California.
The name of the car – Hyperion – is a mythological Greek figure that took the side of Zeus in the battle against his father.
After the Concours d’Elegance, the Hyperion will return to European shores for the Paris Show at the Pininfarina stand.
