For years, the big Brit has been the preferred mode of propulsion for the world&#39;s plutocrats and, thanks to a host of recent updates, it will remain so. Few cars come close to the majestic Roller; Bentley&#39;s defunct Mulsanne came close and Maybach failed dismally with the 57/62.

It wasn&#39;t always this way, though. In the bustling 1920s and &#39;30s, several marques could give the Goodwood-based brand a run for its money - one of them was Hispano-Suiza. The luxury brand was once considered to make the finest cars in the world, a statement backed up by Jay Leno&#39;s latest video, which showcases the absolutely gorgeous 1933 J12.

This is the only one that&#39;s sitting on a 146-inch wheelbase,&quot; explains the Nethercutt Collection&#39;s Cameron Richards. The gorgeous luxury car gains motivation from a 9.4-liter V12 with 250 horsepower on tap - not impressive by modern standards, but phenomenal in the 1930s. When new, the J12 was capable of reaching speeds of more than 100 mph.

Richards remarks the J12 was one of the fastest cars money could buy when it was first introduced. The cabin is crafted with the finest materials; sumptuous leather lines the four seats, uplifted only by the slab of wood trim on the dashboard and the meticulously crafted controls.

[it has] a beautiful transmission, a synchromesh which had just come out in 1932. It really is fast.&quot; As the pair cruise around Los Angeles, Leno asks Richards how much the J12 is worth. Due to its rarity, he says the Hispano-Suiza is easily worth a couple of million dollars.

The all-electric Carmen Boulogne may not be as beautiful as its predecessors, but it&#39;s certainly as pricey and exclusive. Renowned car collector Michael Fux recently added one to his collection and, with just 14 examples slated for production, it&#39;s nearly as rare as the J12.
