$700,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom Hearse B12: Because All That Money Just Couldn't Keep You Alive

rolls-hearse-1.jpg

This is the "at least a half-million Euros" (~$662K) Rolls-Royce Phantom Hearse B12 from Biemme Special Cars. Because why not make your last ride a spectacular one? Me? I want my body strapped to a rocket and shot into a volcano. Ooooooooor pushed down a steep hill in a wheelbarrow.

Set to be officially unveiled at the Tan Expo funeral home show in Bologna, Italy, the car stretches a total of 276-inches (23-feet!) in length, three feet longer than even the extended wheelbase version of the Phantom. Unique to this car is the fact that it remains a 4-door, and even features the now rather inappropriately named "suicide" doors.

I'd argue the suicide doors are actually MORE appropriate, along with the car model itself. The Phantom, get it? Like a ghost! Oh man I am going to haunt the SHIT out of some people when I go. Mostly Geekologie readers. *rattling chains* WoooOOOOOoooooOOOO -- I'm in your computer making your wallpaper a penis.

Hit the jump for a shot of one of the last things you'd ever see if 1. you were rich 2. dead people could still see and 3. you requested an open-casket ride to the cemetery.

    The guy on the far left: he's filming the scantily-clad car models. You know what the problem with Lamborghinis is? Not enough room to haul stuff. Enter the conceptual Lamborghini Urus, a 200-MPH SUV from the Italian manufacturer who's cars used to give me boners in the earl... / Continue →

    Motorcycles: you don't want to fall off one. But if you do you want to be well protected. Also, riding on pillows. Enter UD Replica's (of Dark Knight and Iron Man 2 leathers fame) Storm Trooper Motorcycle Suits. They're leather, make you look like a Storm Trooper riding a s... / Continue →
