IIRC, that's a custom Rolls Royce created for a Hotel somewhere exotic by some company that I don't remember. I know it seems a little vague, but I don't want to risk the ire of MG by being too specific.

More likely I just don't remember and I want to get something posted before everybody else so I appear to be smart or something.

DC design Rolls Royce Coupe. And it wasn't created for a hotel, it was photographed in front of a prestigious London hotel.

I checked several websites, and all I can come up with is DC Design Rolls-Royce coupe.

Maybe that's all there is to a model name.  It has to be the most unusual RR I've ever seen...

DC Design's website even calls it just "Rolls Royce."

http://www.dcdesign.co.in/gallery/index.html

It's under Show Cars. You'll have to click on "More Cars" several times, but it is there.

Sorry guys. You´re right, there doesn´t seem to exist a proper name for this...

I´ve saved the pic as "DC Gaia", but that´s another car.

You´ve solved the puzzle, of course.

From the back, it looks exactly like the front of my Prius. 

Whether that's a good thing is up to you...... ;)

Most Rolls owners would consider that not to be a good thing. Of course, most Rolls owners probably don't consider the DC coupe to be a good thing either. Of course, I don't speak from experience so I may be hopelessly wrong. Again.

This is a one-off coupé redesign of a Rolls-Royce, done by Dilip Chhabria of DC Design fame. The name of the car is, as far as I can tell, unknown, or at least not widely known.
