Rolls-Royce has unveiled the Phantom Centenary Private Collection, commemorating the 100th anniversary of its iconic Phantom model. Limited to just 25 units worldwide, this collection represents the culmination of Phantom's legacy dating back to the 1920s, with the Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective elevating a century of history to the realm of art.
The collection incorporates 100 years of heritage not only in the vehicle's exterior but also in its interior space—the essence of Phantom—beginning with 77 hand-sketched motifs, archive references, couturier-designed fabrics, 3D marquetry, and gold leaf craftsmanship representing the pinnacle of artisanal techniques.
The exterior features bespoke two-tone paint as a tribute to the flowing silhouette of 1930s Phantoms. The "Super Champagne Crystal" over "Arctic White" and "Black" combination doubles the amount of champagne-colored particles to create exceptional depth.
The highlight is the Spirit of Ecstasy, an homage to Phantom's first mascot figurine. Cast in 18-carat solid gold and plated with 24-carat gold, it bears a special "Phantom Centenary" hallmark. The "RR" badge is finished in 24-carat gold and white enamel.
The interior captures 100 years of archives. The dashboard's "Anthology Gallery" comprises 50 3D-printed vertical brushed aluminum fins engraved with a century of accolades, evoking the sparkle of falling fireworks through subtly changing lighting.
The rear seats draw inspiration from the 1926 "Phantom of Love," featuring three layers of storytelling—historic locations, past Phantoms, and seven owners—realized through high-resolution prints and more than 160,000 embroidered stitches. This design was developed through 12 months of collaboration with a fashion atelier.
The door panels feature intricate woodwork. Landscapes including Le Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer in southern France, where Sir Henry Royce had his villa, and West Wittering, along with Phantom's historical journey, are depicted using 3D marquetry, laser etching, and 24-carat gold leaf techniques.
The powertrain carries the same V12 6.75-liter twin-turbo engine as the Phantom, delivering maximum output of 571 horsepower and peak torque of 91.8 kg·m for powerful yet effortless driving performance. The engine cover is also finished in "Arctic White" with 24-carat gold details.
