A Dutchman has turned a Rolls-Royce V12 into a Jeep that looks like something out of an action movie. The model now has six wheels and completely yellow headlights, however it is not known what their purpose would be.
Fans of modified cars know that normally the value of customizing a vehicle is very limited. That when it comes to a Volkswagen Beetle or a Fiat Uno, however for the owner of a Rolls-Royce V12 Phantom, the budget was no problem. So much so that he thought the design of one of the most expensive series-produced cars in the world could be improved upon and turned it into a Jeep.
Rolls-Royce V12 gets a more aggressive look
The model in question is the pre-facelift Phantom Series 1. The vehicle, which is now a Jeep, had its photos published on Facebook Alper Dmr member of Hart voor Auto's group — Carparazzi, after being spotted at Schiphol Airport, in the Netherlands.
Who sees the Rolls-Royce V12 with six wheels, does not believe at the time that it is a legitimate Rolls-Royce, but a Jeep. To accommodate the two extra wheels, the rear of the vehicle had to be extended. To make the model's design even more aggressive, bars were installed at the front and rear of the vehicle, which even has a trailer hitch.

The giant fenders also attract glances and make onlookers wonder where this car will be used. Maybe it's a call from millionaires for a pickup truck in the super luxury market.
Rolls-Royce was equipped with 466 horsepower engine
The Jeep Modified by the Dutchman, which we still don't know if it is aimed at the urban environment or trails, has yellow headlights. That's because both the headlights, the roof lights and the fog lights draw attention due to the unconventional color.
Nowadays, such lighting is outdated and in some countries is even considered illegal. However, there are still conventional parts in the Rolls-Royce Modified V12. This one is just a little exotic thinking about the public and admirers of super luxury cars. The vehicle's engine is a 12-horsepower V466 connected to a six-speed automatic transmission.
The expectation now is that the "Jeep" engine has not been replaced. It's hard to imagine how this vehicle's passenger compartment must be, firstly because each Rolls-Royce has an infinite possibility of combinations.
Justin Bieber also owns a modified Rolls-Royce
In 2016, the automaker created the Vision 100, a futuristic and autonomous concept that celebrated the manufacturer's 100th anniversary and, at the same time, tried to advance the brand's next steps in terms of design, technologies and luxury. However, the singer Justin Bieber and the West Coast Customs, a famous customization company, decided to advance Rolls' plans by 95 years.
The young man from Canada added the luxurious Wraith to his collection, which was the starting point, however, from the coupe only the style and interior remained. The headlights are new and the front grille has been reduced in size compared to the traditional model. And, just like the futuristic prototype, the front and rear wheels are covered by a body kit made exclusively for the model.
The mirrors were removed and replaced by small cameras installed in the wheel arches. The lanterns have a triangular shape, giving the model a greater personality.
