Ugur Sahin is a Turkish car designer who lives in the Netherlands and is the founder of the design house that bears his name.

Driver Proves 2013 Rolls Royce Phantom Can be Fun and Slightly Destructive Off the Road

A YouTube user named "TaxTheRich100", who you may remember from a recent video containing footage of a rare Bugatti EB110 SS, has shared a new clip with us, this time showing a 2013 Rolls Royce Phantom Series II – yes, that's the one officially introduced in March this year – in some politically incorrect action.

By that, we mean the driver took the £350,000 (~ €430,000 / US$560,000), 2.6 tonne beast for a mildly destructive ride on the picturesque British countryside.

One-Off 24k Gold Rolls Royce Ghost Purple by Fenice Milano Poses a $3 Million Question: Why?

They are right to say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but in this instance, surely "love must be blind"…

Enter the world of Italian coachbuilder Fenice Milano, which has revealed plans to build a one-off custom Rolls Royce Ghost for an unnamed client with bottomless pockets and a gaudy sense of style.

Fenice Milano's customer was fascinated with the brand's Ghost-based Diva collection, previewed back in 2010, but wanted something a bit more glitzy.

The car will be finished in a deep purple paint job before the Italian firm customizes the exterior with a 24k gold paint and trim accents covering the hood, grille, front and rear bumper aprons, side skirts, wheels and window surrounds.

More gold can be found in the British limousine's interior, which will also be customized in terms of styling and materials to match the outside theme.

You'd be inclined to believe that such a happening would most likely take place in Dubai, and you'd be partially right. We say partially because the street is named Dubai but it's not located in the United Arab Emirates but on the other side of the world in Tokyo, Japan.

Make your way through the jump to watch the videos.

$1.4 Million Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe gets Soaked in Australia

We don't know what's more annoying about this video that shows a Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe in Adelaide, Australia, with its top down being drenched in rainwater, reportedly for at least half an hour: the careless owner that didn't come out to see what was going on or the indifferent bypassers whose only concern was to film the spectacle.

According to news reports from Australia, the convertible Rolls-Royce, which costs upwards of AU$1.35 million, the damages to the car's interior from the rain may cost the owner as much as AU$100,000. Watch the rainy clip in the video after the jump.
