Rolls-Royce Marks Phantom’s 100 Years With 25-Car Centenary Private Collection

The bespoke series distills a century of the flagship’s history into a unified design narrative crafted from archival research.

Overview

  • Rolls-Royce publicly previewed the ultra-limited Phantom Centenary Private Collection at Goodwood, restricting production to 25 identical cars.
  • A two-tone Arctic White and Black exterior uses a Super Champagne Crystal clear coat with crushed glass, topped by an 18-carat gold Spirit of Ecstasy with 24-carat detailing and disc wheels engraved with 25 lines each.
  • The interior centers on a three-layer rear-seat artwork that draws on 77 hand-sketched motifs across 45 panels, with embroidery abstractly representing seven significant Phantom owners.
  • The Anthology Gallery features 50 3D-printed, vertically brushed aluminum fins engraved with letters forming press quotes, while stained Blackwood door panels use 3D marquetry, laser etching, 3D ink layering and 24-carat gold leaf to depict historic voyages and Royce residences.
  • Each car is based on the Phantom VIII extended-wheelbase platform, was developed over three years, priced at about $1.5 million, presold, and offered without further personalization.
