Rolls-Royce produces the most luxurious vehicles on the planet but one thing the company doesn’t build is a supercar. That’s exactly what this rendering depicts.
This design comes courtesy of Rain Prisk and shows how key Rolls-Royce design traits could translate into a supercar. It looks surprisingly nice.
At the front, inspiration appears to have come from the previous-generation Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe with thin headlights. The British marque’s classic grille has also been miniaturized to suit the low-slung design of the front end while the Spirit of Ecstasy continues to sit proudly on the hood.

The Rolls-Royce supercar has clearly been designed to have a mid-engined layout so the cabin sits quite far forward. We can see it sports suicide doors as well as narrow side windows and a thick C-pillar, inevitably creating some massive blind spots but making for a very sporty and aggressive look. Another nice touch are familiar Rolls-Royce wheels with floating center caps.
While the designer hasn’t rendered what the Rolls-Royce supercar would look like from the rear, we can see it features quite simple rear haunches.
Rolls-Royce has a loyal customer base and we’re sure that if it used BMW’s performance car expertise to build a supercar, people would buy it. Such a vehicle could be positioned as a mid-engined alternative to the Bentley Continental GT with better performance and the same level of comfort that the British marque is synonymous for. However, with BMW itself not even expected to launch a supercar of its own, there’s no chance Rolls-Royce will be given the go-ahead to build one.
