Rolls-Royce Unveils One-Off Phantom Arabesque With First Laser-Engraved Bonnet

The commission for a Middle Eastern client uses a patented process perfected over five years to etch mashrabiya latticework into the hood.

Overview

  • The bespoke Phantom was commissioned through the Rolls-Royce Private Office in Dubai for an unnamed buyer and will remain a unique build.
  • The laser-engraved bonnet debuts a brand-first finish that reveals a darker underlayer through a lighter top coat, then is hand-sanded for a sculpted effect after extensive calibration work.
  • The exterior pairs Diamond Black lower bodywork with a Silver upper section, a hand-painted coachline featuring a mashrabiya motif, an illuminated Pantheon grille with dark chrome, and 22-inch two-tone part-polished wheels.
  • Cabin details include Selby Grey and black leather upholstery, mashrabiya motifs on all headrests, illuminated scuff plates, and a dashboard finished in Blackwood and Black Bolivar.
  • Pricing was not disclosed, with coverage noting a standard Phantom Extended Wheelbase starts around $500,000 in the U.S. and speculating this commission likely approaches seven figures.
