Vroom with a view: Billionaire has his £300,000 Rolls-Royce lifted 170 meters up a skyscraper to his 44th floor penthouse balcony in China
- The Rolls-Royce Ghost was lifted after careful calculations and experiments
- The 2.5-ton luxury vehicle is owned by a billionaire businessman in China
A video has captured the dramatic moment when a £300,000 Roll-Royce was hoisted into a penthouse at the request of a billionaire in China.
The luxurious Rolls-Royce Ghost was sent to the 44th floor of a high-rise building after the wealthy businessman decided he wanted to park his car on his balcony.
The clip reveals the high elevation at which the car is finally placed, overlooking the city skyline with equally tall buildings.
The car is perfectly positioned while a driver makes final adjustments to the car’s position on the balcony.
The 2.5-tonne car was lifted 160 meters up the side of the skyscraper in China’s Fujian province, according to SuperCarBlondie.
Due to the sheer weight of the valuable car, the company behind the lift operation said careful calculation experiments were needed to pull it off.
The Rolls-Royce had to be secured in a custom-made iron cage with the strength of three steel cables to lift it to the penthouse.
The breathtaking scene was filmed by Instagram user @kurdistan.millionare.cars and generated a staggering 196,000 views.
Some social media users were not impressed by the technical feat.

Due to the sheer weight of the valuable car, the company behind the operation to lift it said it took careful calculation experiments to pull it off.
One posted, “What’s the point of sending a car of a certain value so high if you can’t drive it.”
Another said, “When you have too much money, it goes into your head and you don’t know what to do. That’s all it is.’
A third user believed this could solve their parking problems and posted, “I don’t want to pay for parking – here’s the answer.”
This is because wealthy property investor Adrian Portelli, known as ‘Mr Lambo’, earlier this year used a crane to lift a racing car 57 floors up to display it in his Melbourne penthouse.
