In 2008, Rolls-Royce collector Roland Hall asked Pininfarina to build him something special from a Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe. The end result was a spare-no-expenses creation, penned by none other than Jason Castriota, called the Pininfarina Hyperion. After dropping out of sight in 2009, the Hyperion has again surfaced, this time at luxury car dealer Prestige Cars in Abu Dhabi. As Carscoops explains, the asking price is undisclosed, but it’s probably safe to assume that “reasonable offers” would need to be in the mid-seven-figure range. When Hall originally...

Back in 1989, Lexus went from theory to reality with the utter perfection that was the LS 400. It's easy to forget there was also another four-door offered at launch: the ES 250, a rebadged version of the Camry with a nicer interior, something less expensive than the $36,000 LS to tide over luxury buyers on a budget. Today, the ES is priced at or above that figure, and it's being revamped yet again, for the fourth time in two decades, a year after its related Camry was thoroughly reworked. The new 2013 Lexus ES 350 earns some significant kudos for its styling departures and some of its new...
