A video has captured the dramatic moment a £300,000 Roll-Royce was hoisted up to a penthouse on request of a billionaire in China.
The luxurious Rolls-Royce Ghost was sent up the 44th floor of a high-rise building after the wealthy businessman decided he wanted his car parked on his balcony.
The clip reveals the lofty height at which the car is finally placed, overlooking the city’s skyline of similarly tall buildings.
The car is perfectly positioned as a driver makes the final adjustments for the car’s position on the balcony.
The 2.5 tonne car was hoisted 550ft up the side of the skyscraper in the Fujian province of China, according to SuperCarBlondie.
Due to the enormous weight of the valuable car, the company behind the operation to lift it said that it required careful calculations experiments to pull it off.
The Rolls-Royce needed to be secured in a custom-built iron cage with the strength of three steel cables in order to lift it up to the penthouse.
The jaw-dropping scene was filmed by Instagram user @kurdistan.millionare.cars, generating a whopping 196,000 views.
Some social media users were not impressed by the feat of engineering.

Due to the enormous weight of the valuable car, the company behind the operation to lift it, said that it required careful calculations 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 in the head, and you don’t know what to do anymore. That’s all it is.’
A third user believed that this could be an answer for their parking woes, posting : ‘I don’t want to pay for parking – this is the answer.’
This comes as wealthy property investor Adrian Portelli, known as ‘Mr Lambo’, used a crane to lift a racecar 57 storeys to put on display in his Melbourne penthouse earlier this year.
