A UNIQUE Rolls-Royce with a powerful V12 engine that produces a blistering 624bhp has gone up for auction.
You could get your hands on the 2020 Rolls-Royce Wraith Black-Badge Sportive, which comes from a line of exclusive motors that are all one-of-a-kind.
The Black Badge family of Rolls-Royce motor cars was launched in 2016 allowing one-of-one creations tailored to the desires of the customer.
Coming with just 4,796 miles on the clock, this ultra-rare grand tourer combines Rolls-Royce’s legendary craftsmanship with an incredibly powerful 6.6L twin-turbo V12 engine.
The one-off luxury car is capable of churning out 624hp and 642 lb-ft of torque.
Finished in a stunning Salamanca Blue, the beast has an interior crafted from a blend of black and blue leather.
SBX Cars is auctioning the rare motor in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and bids have already begun flying in.
As of March 12, the bidding is at 42,020 AED, or £8,823, from two bids, although naturally the reserve price has not yet been met.
The auction will continue for another 12 days before it is eventually purchased.
Its listing says: “With the stunning attention to detail, from the exposed carbon fibre wheels to the hand-painted Coachlines adorned with the Sportive emblem, every inch of this car screams exclusivity.
“With an 8-speed automatic transmission, the power is routed smoothly to the rear wheels.
“It’s not just about performance, though; the Rolls-Royce Wraith is synonymous with effortless elegance and unparalleled luxury, making it the perfect grand tourer for those who appreciate both refinement and speed.”

This comes as a retro Ford Capri 1973 raced by a member of the Royal family and driven by a Formula 1 icon is set to go up for sale for £120k.
The remarkable motor, which remained in storage for 36 years before a mechanical rebuild in 2014, is set to go under the hammer in April.
The genuine Ford works car, decorated with a blue and white ‘Shell Sport’ livery, was originally built for the 1973 Avon Tour of Great Britain.
It was during this event that HRH Prince Michael of Kent took the wheel of the Capri, which has the registration ‘XWC 713L’.
The royal achieved a respectable 16th place finish after driving in circuit races, rally stages, and across 1,000 miles of public roads.
Later that year, it was driven by Formula 1 World Champion Niki Lauda at a one-off race at the Österreichring circuit in Austria.
