2012 McLaren X-1 Concept

Created as one-off by the British high-performance car company for an anonymous client. It took two and a half years to complete once the design was finalized, and the company says everything from the lights to the wheels were created specifically for this project. Most of the carbon fiber bodywork has been painted piano black, though some of the panels let the natural carbon weave shine through, and all the brightwork – including the so-called McLaren Airbrake rear wing – was hewn from solid aluminum and nickel plated. The interior is finished in Harissa Red Nappa leather. (autoblog.com)

2012 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe Aviator Collection

Only 35 cars expected to be built, the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe Aviator Collection celebrates 
Charles Stewart Rolls – Rolls-Royce co-founder – 

who had a passion for flying and was only the second man in Britain to have a pilot's license before his death in 1910. 

Grey exterior hue accented with a matte finish on the grille, hood and window frame. 

Setting the aeronautical theme of the car, the interior is fitted with exclusive features 
like the matte-black instrument gauges, 

an aviation-grade clock in the middle of the dash and a lower dash veneer that mimics 

the look of an old wooden airplane propeller. 

Even the transmission tunnel boasts an anodized aluminum cover with exposed torx-head bolts which 

attempts to match the fuselage of Rolls' award-winning (and Rolls-Royce-powered) Supermarine S6B aircraft.
