Rolls-Royce unveiled its new one-off Phantom inspired by James Bond ‘Goldfinger

It has been sixty years since the release of the iconic James Bond film Goldfinger, and this new Rolls-Royce Phantom Goldfinger is a one-off creation to honor that film.

The British automaker is not one to not take challenges when it comes to one-off bespoke models, but this might just be the most outrageous one yet.

Why is that, you ask?

Let’s just say if you like hunting easter eggs and are a fan of cars, the Phantom Goldfinger is the final boss.

Rolls-Royce Phantom Goldfinger is a villain car

First things first, the Goldfinger film didn’t just feature one iconic ride, but two.

While James Bond himself drove the evergreen Aston Martin DB5, the villain was in a 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Sedanca de Ville.

Aston, too, made a one-off tribute car to honor the 1964 film with its DB12 Goldfinger Edition, and two tribute cars are obviously better than one.

Anyway, it took three years for Rolls-Royce’s Bespoke department to create this example, and it was all for good reason.

Unlike your average Rolls, even if it’s curated to the brim, this one-off is all about details.

For instance, it has James Bond references, specifically Goldfinger references, everywhere.

The automaker naturally went with the same two-tone paint, but it’s more than just matching the color.

You see, the colors on this bespoke Rolls are exactly the same as the original movie car.

What’s more, it took the automaker an entire year to figure out and create the dash inlay.

The inside of the dash features a 3D contour map of the Furka Pass, where Bond chased the villain in the film.

To top it off, the roof features a star pattern that matches the night sky of that same location.

Beauty lies in the details

No Bond film (or a Bond car) goes without secret details, and there is, in fact, a secret treasure hiding in the car.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom Goldfinger comes with an 18-carat solid gold bar shaped like a car hiding in a unique compartment.

That, however, isn’t the only gold you’ll find in this beauty.

As a matter of fact, there’s gold everywhere… yes, everywhere.

The unique Spirit of Ecstasy has gold plating in strategic parts to make it look like it’s hiding treasure underneath.

Further, from the speakers and climate vents to the dashboard and rear compartments, everything is gold-plated.

This reminds us of the Sultan of Brunei’s gold-plated Rolls-Royce, but that and the Phantom Goldfinger are worlds apart.

What we mentioned was only a glimpse of all the work that went into adding minuscule details in each part of this car, and there’s certainly much more — maybe even more than what the automaker revealed.

All in all, the Rolls-Royce Phantom Goldfinger is the perfect way to pay homage in style, and it shows.

Before you ask, it’s not for sale and will likely stay that way for quite a while.
