Rolls-Royce Unveils Exclusive Phantom Centenary Collection: A Tribute to Luxury and Heritage

Rolls-Royce, one of the world’s ultra-luxury automobile manufacturers, has globally unveiled the Phantom Centenary Collection that will be limited to only 24 units worldwide. This limited edition has been launched to celebrate a hundred years of the Phantom nameplate, which was first launched in the Phantom I in 1925. Rolls-Royce has described the Phantom Centenary Collection as the most intricate and technologically advanced Private Collection to date. As per the brand claim, the model features exclusive detailing that has taken over 40,000 hours.

The exterior profile of Phantom Centenary Collection features a black and white color combination, which is inspired by Hollywood’s classic era. It features a custom two-tone finish for elegance, whereas subtle golden accents add to its refined and unique look.

The grille gets inspiration from the original version of the iconic emblem. It has been crafted in 18-carat gold and finished with a layer of 24-carat gold plating. Rolls-Royce has confirmed that it has a special ‘Phantom Centenary’ hallmark certified by the Hallmarking & Assay Office in London, while its base is treated with an enamel finish.

Inside the cab, the Rolls-Royce Phantom Centenary Collection continues to offer ultra-luxury design language as on the outside. The rear sweats have been designed in collaboration with a fashion atelier to showcase a blend of high-resolution printed fabrics, intricate line detailing, and subtle golden embroidery. Developed over a year, the process included creating new inks, finishes, and methods to achieve 45 unique panels that were carefully handcrafted and precisely fitted.

The British luxury car manufacturer has used stained Blackwood veneer for the woodwork used in the Phantom Centenary Collection. The door panel gets scenes from notable Phantom journeys, like a 4,500-mile drive across Australia by the first Goodwood-era Phantom. The design also uses techniques like 3D marquetry, ink layering, and gold leafing.

Under the hood, the limited edition Phantom Centenary Collection gets power from a 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 engine that is covered with an Arctic White engine cover and detailed with 24-carat gold trim.
