Rolls-Royce took three years to build this James Bond-inspired Phantom

Inspired by the greatest James Bond villain of all time, Rolls-Royce spent three years developing a Goldfinger Phantom replica.

Bond has many iconic vehicles in his portfolio, but he’s also come up against some equally impressive wheels.

One being a Rolls-Royce.

Now, the British automotive car has revealed an incredible replica of the Phantom seen in James Bond: Goldfinger.

This Rolls-Royce Phantom is a James Bond memorium

Goldfinger was quite a turning point for the James Bond series as the cars really got inventive.

While it was the first time we saw the iconic Aston Martin DB5 in action, the British spy also went wheel to wheel with another incredible supercar.

The 1964 film recently passed its 60th birthday and Sean Connery’s Bond portrayal was honored by Rolls Royce as they unveiled a 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Sedanca de Ville replica that was a staple vehicle of Auric Goldfinger (portrayed by Gert Forbe).

The classic ’37 Rolls was commissioned by a customer in England and took three years to create as the bespoke car company went all-in on getting it Bond-ready.

The exterior is a complete nod to Goldfinger as the Phantom II has the two-tone black and bright yellow hues, the same unique 21-inch disc wheels and black-on-white hubcaps, and a solid gold Royce bonnet topper.⁠

Aston Martin also revealed a 60-year anniversary Goldfinger car which you can find here.

Shaken, not steered

The inside alone took an entire year to design.

With a 3D contour map of the Furka Pass – the car chase path from the Bond film – a star pattern on the roof of the same location, and gold-inlaid picnic tables depicting a fictional map of Fort Knox, the references to Goldfinger are everywhere.

The dash is complimented with golden air vents, speaker grilles, and treadplates, while the steering wheel and seats are adorned with navy leather and gold stitching.

As seen in the film, the Rolls also has a hidden vault, although this car doesn’t use the locker for weapons or money, but rather a solid 18-carat gold bar shaped like a Phantom speedform.

Previously, Supercar Blondie, aka Alex Hirschi, was given access to a real-life James Bond car where she found a tonne of movie references with secret gadgets – it’s not sure whether this Rolls has similar compartments.

Still, the incredible car is one of the best we’ve ever seen produced to honor the movie franchise, even when the likes of Marty McFly’s DeLorean exist.
