A valued customer of Rolls-Royce requested for a one-off car and the engineers came up with something inspired by racing yachts and the architecture of classics from the ’20s and ’30s.

It is called Rolls Royce Sweptail and it is both exquisite and exclusive. There will never be another like it and it is valued at £10 million (N4,950,000,000).

The bespoke luxury vehicle was recently unveiled at Villa d’Este for Concorso d’Eleganza, Italy

“Sweptail is the automotive equivalent of Haute Couture,” said Giles Taylor, director of Rolls-Royce design, who revealed that the customer was actively involved in the process of creating the car.

The unnamed owner was said to have specifically asked for a two-seat coupé featuring a large panoramic glass roof – and the engineers got to work.

“Our job was to guide, edit and finely hone the lines that would ultimately give our client this most perfect of Rolls-Royces,” Taylor said.

According to CAR Magazine, the Sweptail “was substantially expensive, making it probably the most expensive new car ever”.

They all use one London-based specialist logistics firm to move their equipment round the globe. Last year, when Beyonce came to the UK with her Formation world tour it took seven Boeing 747 air freighters and a fleet of more than 70 trucks to get her stage set and other gear to the venues. And that didn't include the backstage staff, musicians, performers - or Beyonce herself. "It was the biggest move we've ever done," says Martin Corr, the managing director of rock and roll transport firm Sound Moves. More firms are choosing to use air freight to get their goods to market, from diamonds to car parts, even though it is six times more expensive than sending them by sea - and rock superstars
