The most expensive Rolls-Royce super-luxury car ever made has just been sold to a Chinese property developer in Beijing, the legendary marque's chairman Ian Robertson said on Thursday.

The $2.2 million dollar built-to-order stretch Rolls-Royce Phantom boasts state-of-the art gadgets including an LCD entertainment system. It also has two rows of rear seats, facing each other.

"It was the most expensive car we've ever done," said Robertson, in Hong Kong for the unveiling of a fleet of 14 new Phantoms at the city's Peninsula Hotel.

Robertson wouldn't disclose the name of the buyer.

China has overtaken Japan as Rolls-Royce's biggest Asian market, with sales growth this year of 60 percent driven by the country's newly-rich entrepreneurs splashing out on the trappings of wealth.

The former British motoring legend is now owned by German car manufacturer BMW, which produces the Phantoms from a new factory in Goodwood, South England.
