The Rolls-Royce Apparition concept is a sleek, obsidian black, electric-powered beauty on wheels - Yanko Design

Luxury vehicles have a new dark horse. Designed by LA-based automotive designer Julien Fesquet, the Rolls-Royce Apparition concept comes with a beautiful almost precious pebble-like exterior that takes the Sweptail and exaggerates everything we loved most it.

The Apparition is a long, lithe, elegant automotive artpiece with a visibly large bike-to-trunk ratio. Its unusual proportions requite information technology the appearance of a majestic panther, limbs outstretched, waiting to pounce on its casualty, thanks to the incredibly lengthy hood/bonnet. The exaggerated hood angles ever so slightly at the end, resulting in a steeply raked windshield which covers the unabridged car in a chimera of tinted drinking glass from front to back. The glass element finds itself on the forepart, cladding the area where one would normally look Rolls-Royce's long grilles – hinting at an electric drivetrain. The Spirit of Ecstasy emerges through the drinking glass in glorious manner, while chrome strips on either side separate the massive glass console from the sides of the motorcar.

The electric drivetrain, nonetheless, isn't the only progressive element in the Rolls-Royce car's design. The auto fifty-fifty features digital rear-view mirrors forth with equally razor-thin headlamps and taillights… and ii spare tires, partially hidden by the forepart fenders in a gloriously modernistic reinterpretation of a common practise in Rolls-Royce's before models! Fesquet created the Apparition every bit a personal project realized over a period of 2 weeks while at dwelling house during the lockdown. The Apparition "was the opportunity to ameliorate my 3D and renders skills," said Fesquet.
