Pininfarina reveal Hyperion Rolls Royce based on 1930s design

Pebble Beach, California - Pininfarina has given the Rolls Royce Drophead Coupe a one-off makeover for a wealthy U. S. collector, taking design cues from the 
1930s and calling it the Hyperion, a Titan of Greek mythology.

First presented at the recent Concours d'Elegance classic car event in Pebble Beach, California, the car was custom built from a 400,000 dollar Rolls-Royce Drophead Coupe owned by collector Roland Hall.

The sleek, long bonnet with the body seemingly wrapped around the driver and passenger combined with a short rear end, was one of the 1930s features taken up by the Italian designers.
