A Rolls-Royce Phantom has been transformed into a 6×6 custom build, complete with BMW parts and a radically altered frame.

French fabricator Alexandre Danton rebuilt the car from the ground up, extending the chassis, modifying the body, and adding a third axle.

It measures more than six meters in length and swaps refinement for raw attitude.

The end result turns the traditional luxury sedan into something entirely unpredictable.

Built with BMW parts and nothing off-limits

Danton began with a standard Rolls-Royce Phantom and immediately tore it apart.

To achieve the 6×6 configuration, he sourced a rear axle from a 2005 BMW 7 Series and rebuilt the rear section of the car.

The chassis was extended, and the original suspension geometry was reworked to accommodate six working wheels.

Custom fenders were fabricated by hand using sheets of aluminum, with each side reshaped to match the wider track.

The vehicle now rides on massive 24-inch wheels, behind which sit gold-painted brake calipers.

A matte black finish was applied across the entire body, with yellow-tinted headlights and a blackout grille replacing the factory chrome.

Up top, Danton mounted a full-length LED light bar and a heavy-duty roof rack.

A new front bumper bar, exposed tow hook, and metal side steps further reinforced the off-road look.

Despite being based on a Rolls-Royce Phantom, the car no longer fits any typical category.

It sits higher, wider, and heavier than before, with very few traces of the original bodywork intact.

Danton’s engine remains factory-spec, but the bay has been decorated with gold leaf.

The trunk houses a gas canister and anti-skid tracks, so it’s clearly intended for real-world use rather than display. This custom build was not designed to sit still in a collection.

Inside the Rolls-Royce Phantom and what’s coming next

Inside, the contrast is immediate. Danton replaced the interior with bright orange leather, crocodile hide on the steering wheel, and snakeskin across the center console.

These choices were made for impact, not subtlety.

Every surface was reupholstered during the custom build, with no attempt to maintain factory options or finishes.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom was completed inside Danton’s personal workshop, located in a restored chateau in Ardèche, France.

He said the fabrication took three months, while planning and prep stretched closer to a year.

This 6×6 joins a growing list of Danton’s builds, which include a six-wheel Land Rover Defender, a Ferrari Modena restyled into a barchetta, and a radically altered Lamborghini Espada.

Danton is asking 5.2 million euros for the car. That figure sits far above the price of a new Rolls-Royce Phantom, which typically starts around $450,000.

However, the scale of work involved, the inclusion of BMW parts, and the bespoke nature of the build place it in a completely different category.

The next project is already underway. Danton plans to apply the same 6×6 formula to a Lamborghini Urus, continuing his focus on high-end custom builds that combine utility and excess.

He is also set to feature in a new French TV show called Custom Kings, which will spotlight his processes, his workshop, and the thinking behind each project.

Whether or not the Phantom finds a buyer at this price, it remains one of the most distinctive builds ever applied to a Rolls-Royce.
