Rolls-Royce Phantom Scintilla exterior
The Phantom Scintilla is the newest bespoke creation from Rolls-Royce.
With just a limited run of 10 units, they will be the most expensive Rolls-Royce Phantoms in the US.
Such is the signature of Rolls-Royce, there will be a number of custom touches inside and out.
Alongside Rolls-Royce selling its luxury cars at airshows for millionaire window shoppers, this bespoke model was a huge reveal at The Quail in Monterey.
It was inspired by the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy hood emblem that’s nearly impossible to steal.
The Phantom Scintilla comes with a two-tone bespoke paint job as standard.
The upper body painted is finished in Andalusian White, and the lower in Thracian Blue with pinstripes to match.
Celebrating ‘the Spirit of Ecstasy’s fleeting presence’, the Phantom Scintilla sees her hewed from ceramic, as a tribute to ‘The Winged Victory of Samothrace’.
To those who never studied classical art, this Greek marble sculpture was crafted in 190 BCE and inspired Rolls-Royce managing director Claude Johnson to create the first Spirit of Ecstasy in 1910.
The interior
However, as stunning as its surface is, it’s the cabin of this stunning Rolls-Royce that truly sings.
In fact, it took the British automobile maker over two and a half years to create.
The roof features the company’s signature starlight headliner.
However, it’s crafted in a bespoke pattern that adds ‘to the sense of motion’.
A total of 36 sections of embroidered patterns on the doors and seats total 633,000 stitches – a work of art that takes 40 hours to complete.
Eyes forward and you’ll notice a work of art labeled the ‘Celestial Pulse’.
It comprises a collection of seven aluminum ribbons that crisscross the dashboard before being finished in the same ceramic as the Spirit of Ecstasy on the car’s nose.
No specific pricing has been provided, but per claims from Rolls-Royce, the ten will be among the most expensive Phantoms ever sold in the US.
