The owner of the $12.8 million Rolls-Royce Sweptail is a billionaire who loves to collect "unique" cars. He owns a collection worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
 |
At the Concorso d'Eleganza event (Italy) in May, Rolls-Royce introduced the Sweptail, a bespoke model designed specifically for a special customer with a price of 12.8 million USD, considered "the most expensive of all time". |
 |
Who is the owner of Sweptail and the background of this billionaire is still a mystery. On the day of launching Sweptail, Rolls-Royce completely hid the identity of the billionaire who ordered this super product. They only said that this tycoon is "a connoisseur and collector of unique things such as super yachts or private jets". Through the social network Instagram, people found the owner of the Rolls-Royce Sweptail, the owner of the account TRSam mwvmnw. |
 |
No one can confirm whether the TRSam mwvmnw account belongs to this tycoon or just a close person he assigned the task of promoting his masterpieces. It can be said that this Instagram account is a treasure trove of images of beautiful supercars and luxury cars. All of these cars are owned by the anonymous tycoon. |
 |
The TRSam mwvmnw account is very familiar to car enthusiasts around the world, but no one knows the real identity of the person behind it. According to some rumors, this tycoon is named Sam Li, of Chinese origin (in a suit standing in the middle). |
 |
It is rumored that Sam Li even owns a private racetrack to satisfy his passion for speed with his supercars and luxury cars. |
 |
Sam Li owns nearly 60 supercars and luxury cars including famous names such as Aston Martin One-77, Bugatti Veyron Supersport, Ferrari LaFerrari, Ferrari FXX-K, Ferrari F12 TRS, Porsche 911 R, Porsche 918 Spyder, Rolls-Royce Sweptail or Lamborghini Aventador. |
 |
In addition, TRSam mwvmnw is ordering some new supercars such as Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG Project One and McLaren BP23. One of them is Bugatti Chiron with carbon fiber body and the other is chrome plated. The McLaren BP23 supercar has not even been launched yet. |
 |
It can be said that this mysterious tycoon is a "crazy fan" of Ferrari when he owns nearly 20 cars with different prancing horse logos such as 250 GTO, F40, F40 GTE, F50, Enzo, LaFerrari, LaFerrari Aperta, FXX K, FXX, 458 Italia, 458 Speciale, 458 Speciale Aperta, GT4C Lusso, FF, F12 Berlinetta, F12tdf, F12 TRS, F458 GT, 599 GTO and 599 GTB. |
 |
Notably, he is also the only person in the world to own two Ferrari F12 TRS supercars. The first Ferrari F12 TRS of this tycoon was launched in 2014 with a red Rosso Corsa exterior and a selling price of up to 4.3 million USD. The second Ferrari F12 TRS has just been delivered, wearing a silver Liquid Silver exterior. |
 |
The Ferrari F12 TRS is inspired by the 1957 250 Testa Rossa. The name TRS of the million-dollar supercar is an abbreviation of “Testa Rossa”. The "heart" of the Ferrari F12 TRS is a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V12 engine. |
 |
Besides, Porsche is also a favorite brand of this tycoon. TRSam mwvmnw's collection has Porsche cars such as Carrera, GT2 RS, GT3 RS, 918 spyder, 911 R, GT4 Cayman, GT3 Cup and 991 GT3 RSR LMGTE. |
 |
However, all of the above cars are overshadowed by the Rolls-Royce Sweptail. Rolls-Royce has been working on the Sweptail project since 2013. The name Sweptail comes from the phrase "swept tail", referring to the rear-end design that made the Rolls-Royce Phantom famous in the early 20th century. |
 |
The inspiration for the Sweptail comes from the “golden age”, the brief period when Europe was not engulfed in war in the first half of the 20th century. The Sweptail embodies the grandeur, splendor and grandeur of the 1925 Phantom I with its striking lines and balanced proportions, harmonizing with the rear diagonal angle on the 1934 Phantom II Streamline. |
 |
The Rolls-Royce Sweptail features the familiar fireplace grille, but in a larger size. The grille is crafted from a block of aluminum and hand-polished to a mirror-like shine. Above it is the Spirit of Ecstasy crystal "flying lady" emblem, similar to the Rolls-Royce 103EX. |
 |
A special highlight in the design of the Rolls-Royce Sweptail is the charming yacht-style rear end. In particular, the Rolls-Royce Sweptail's panoramic glass sunroof extends all the way to the rear of the car. The sunroof on the Sweptail is even larger than the sunroof on the Tesla Model X. |
 |
The interior of the Rolls-Royce Sweptail is mainly made of Macassar Ebony and Paldao wood. The mechanical clock on the dashboard is made of titanium. Below the center console is a compartment for a bottle of champagne and two crystal glasses. |
 |
Unlike many regular Rolls-Royces, the Sweptail's rear doors don't contain umbrellas. Instead, there are two specially designed carbon fiber suitcases to hold laptops. In addition, a "custom" luggage set is arranged in the rear trunk. The Rolls-Royce Sweptail even has a shelf for the owner's hat. |
