2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom (Generation VIII)

Rolls-Royce Created A One-Off Phantom For A Billionaire Client And It's Beautiful

Sometimes money really does get you everything. Imagine being rich enough to approach an automaker and telling them, “I want you to build this for me.” That’s what one Japanese billionaire has done with this Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Called the Phantom Oribe, it was designed in collaboration with Hermés. If you’re unfamiliar with Hermés, don’t feel bad. The company makes fashion accessories. Stuff like $25,000 handbags and $1,500 Apple Watch Cases.

This Phantom Oribe was commissioned by Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa, yes, the dearMoon guy. Apparently, the idea for this Phantom came to him after buying a private jet. He wanted what he described as a land jet to complement the actual jet. Together, the two companies at his direction put their luxury know-how together to create a finely crafted Phantom that’s even more luxurious and excessive than a standard one.

Rolls-Royce customers are not interested in vegan leather upholstery

In a push towards sustainability and, for some, a more humanitarian lifestyle, a number of manufacturers have started offering vegan leather options for cabin upholstery. Rolls-Royce is one of these manufacturers but the luxury British marque has noted that just one consumer has ordered the special trim thus far.

Speaking to Autocar, “Nobody has ever asked us for a vegan interior,” said Rolls-Royce boss Torsten Müller-Ötvös, on whether his firm will ditch leather. “Sustainability is very important to us but it should not compromise luxury.” He called Rolls’ Goodwood factory a leader in sustainable production and said the firm is ready to respond to customer requests if there is a switch away from leather.

Two months ago, BMW revealed an array of sustainable upholstery options with its i Vision Circular concept car. This car demonstrated that climate protection and individual mobility do not necessarily contradict each other. On the contrary, the brand showed that using new technologies and innovation, the BMW Group is able to fulfill the planet’s requirements for greater sustainability without customers having to forgo individual mobility.

BMW says that the decision behind this shift is to fight against climate change with a unique sustainability strategy and clearly defined CO2 targets, as announced by Oliver Zipse, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG at a media event in Munich.

Bespoke Carbon Veil Phantom designed by South African

The Rolls-Royce nameplate is in and of itself a superlative. Even more so, special editions or “Bespoke” models will regularly appear and catch the attention of the media, writes Ryan de Villiers.

This carbon creation was the lovechild of South African artist Alastair Gibson. Gibson is recognised as a masterful artist who specialises in creating pieces out of carbon fibre. Having also spent 14 years in Formula One, 4 of which as Lead Mechanic for the Benetton F1 Team and 10 years as race team Chief Mechanic for the BAR and Honda Grand Prix Teams, he combines his motorsport engineering experience as well as his love for the natural world to create his signature Carbon Fibre Sculptures. Gibson recycles F1 car parts which he sources from Grand Prix teams and then repurposes them in his sculptures.

Built-in a sterile landscape known as the “Clean Room” in Goodwood, the home of Rolls-Royce, this particular Phantom underwent extensive alterations to result in what may be the most eccentric and distinctive Bespoke Phantom produced to date. Living up to its title, the specially designed Phantom consists of 150 layers of carbon fibre that have been compressed and mixed with resin to create a single solid billet. Driving home the truly outrageous carbon fibre integration, the Spirit of Ecstasy that sits at the forefront of the vehicle has also been made out of carbon fibre.

2022 Rolls-Royce Phantom gets new look and options

Goodwood’s range-topper gets a round of subtle updates to fend off the challenge from the Maybach S-Class

Rolls-Royce has updated its range-topping Phantom saloon with an array of subtle tweaks aimed at keeping it competitive against rivals from Mercedes-Maybach and Bentley.

The main tweaks include a slightly reworked front grille, which features a more prominent badge and a darkened finish and is now illuminated - as on the smaller Rolls-Royce Ghost.

A new, polished horizontal line between the daytime-running lights has also been added and gives the car a “new and assertive modernity, reflecting its driver-focused character”, according to Rolls-Royce.

The Phantom’s lights also get an upgrade, with laser-cut star-shaped motifs added for extra night-time presence.

There’s a new set of stainless steel wheels too, with triangular details, but 1920s-style disc wheels are also available.

Inside, a thicker steering wheel has been fitted but the rest of the cabin remains unaltered.

However, owners can opt for a new silver-white interior colour scheme called Phantom Platino, which brings a bamboo-derived fabric for the rear seats, while leather is used for the front seats.

No other modifications have been made, so the Rolls-Royce Phantom continues with the same twin-turbocharged 6.75-litre V12 engine that it has used since its arrival in 2017.

Rolls-Royce updates the Phantom, changes as little as possible

The filthy rich have had a tough time of it lately, but an upgraded Phantom should perk them up

Rolls-Royce has announced a facelift for its flagship Phantom limo in its own inimitable style – the car, which was launched in 2017, is now known as the Phantom Series II as the firm reveals what it calls a “new expression”.

It does indeed have a new expression – the updated Phantom has a slightly sterner look to its headlights, with LED DRLs running across the top of the light units and a soft glow from the newly internally lit front grille. The Phantom does have a marginally more imposing stance – this is a car that wants to speak to the manager.

In more styling excitement, there’s a “heavily undercut waft line” that visually signifies the car’s plush ride, but we’re darned if we know where it is. Cue a ‘Pin the Tail on the Donkey’-style competition to find that waft line.

As before, the standard Phantom is aimed at folks who prefer to drive themselves (commoners) while people with chauffeurs will gravitate towards the Phantom Extended. Whoever is driving, they’ll be excited to hear about Rolls-Royce’s new “private members application” called Whispers, which does much the same thing as every other car company’s app, but posher.

Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II

Rolls-Royce products enjoy an expansive lifetime, ultimately becoming timeless expressions of good taste, beauty and luxurious perfection. Phantom occupies a unique, pinnacle position in this regard, being revered for its timeless elegance.

The eighth-generation of Phantom was presented in 2017. In creating the new expression, Rolls-Royce designers and engineers have been guided by the requests of clients, who have implored Rolls-Royce not to make any major changes to an already iconic motor car. In answer to these client demands, only the lightest of design touches, embellishments, and adaptations have been incorporated. Indeed, it is not about what should be changed, but in fact, what should be preserved and protected.

A NEW EXPRESSION

The most obvious and important feature to be retained is Phantom's commanding presence. This has been further enhanced by a new polished horizontal line between the daytime running lights above the Pantheon Grille. This gives Phantom a new and assertive modernity, reflecting its driver-focused character.

A subtle geometric change to the Pantheon Grille makes the 'RR' Badge of Honour and Spirit of Ecstasy mascot more prominent when viewed from the front. The grille itself is now illuminated, a feature debuted and popularised in Ghost. The headlights are graced with intricate laser-cut bezel starlights, creating a visual connection with the Starlight Headliner inside, and adding further surprise and delight to Phantom's night-time presence.

Rolls-Royces all round as Saudi Arabian prince gifts soccer players for Argentina defeat - report

- Saudi Arabia's national football team made history earlier this week when they beat Argentina 2-1.
- Saudi Arabian Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud gifted each player a luxury car.
- Pricing for the Rolls-Royce Phantom starts from more than R18 million in India, without bespoke options.

The 2022 FIFA World Cup has seen the most upsets in the first round for as long as anyone can remember. The underdogs are outplaying the favourites.

One such team is Saudi Arabia, which made history during the first round of the 2022 FIFA World Cup on Tuesday, 22 November, beating Argentina with two goals to one. Argentina is known worldwide for their soccer legends, such as the late Diego Maradona and the more recent and world-renowned Lionel Messi.

However, not even Messi's only goal could save his team from defeat by the Green Falcons.

For their efforts and historic win, Saudi Arabian Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud is gifting each player a Rolls-Royce Phantom, according to a TimesNowNews report. The win means so much to the people of Saudi Arabia that the king even declared the following day a public holiday.

According to the report, the starting price for a Rolls-Royce Phantom in India is Rs 8.99 crore, which equates to an estimated R18 million, and it can go for up to R22 million. It's pretty tricky to put a value on this car in South Africa because there is no such thing as a base model Rolls-Royce - anywhere in the world.

The cost of a Rolls-Royce Phantom locally is estimated to start from R10 million locally, but that excludes bespoke options.

Meet the car that Rolls-Royce calls the "most ambitious, singular and highly bespoke Phantom" ever created

The Phantom Syntopia goes high-fashion; we quickly find ourselves out of our depth

This, as the headline likely already spelled out pretty well, is what Rolls-Royce boss Torsten Müller-Ötvös calls the “most ambitious, singular and highly bespoke Phantom we have ever created”. For a company that’s rather made a name for itself by catering to the most ambitious and singular whims its customers can dream up, that’s saying something.

Which is helpful, because we have absolutely no idea what the owner is intending to say with this design, what the design says about the owner who commissioned it, or indeed what the luminary of ladies’ haute couture behind it is saying at all.

“I was inspired by the concept of ‘Weaving Water’ and transformed the sense of being in movement into an immersive experience of fluidity,” says fancy fashion designer Iris van Herpen.

"I wanted this to become a state-of-the-art experience being overwhelmed by the forces of nature."
