Overview
- The Phantom Hummingbird was unveiled Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2026, as a one-off Bespoke commission from Rolls‑Royce’s Private Office in Dubai created as a gift for a client’s wife.
- The commission is the first Rolls‑Royce to use iridescent abalone shell in marquetry, with hummingbird motifs inlaid into the rear picnic tables and a botanical panel between the rear seats.
- Rolls‑Royce’s Bespoke team spent roughly nine months developing the process, running six material iterations, laser-cutting brittle shell, hand-filing edges and spending 45 hours on the final composition to meet automotive durability and fit standards.
- The car is built on the Phantom Extended platform and pairs the new marquetry with a Wildberry/White Sands two-tone exterior, a hand-painted hummingbird coachline, Creme Light leather, Ash Burr veneer, Silver Birch accents and Seashell carpets.
- As with other Private Office one-offs, Rolls‑Royce is keeping the price private and the Hummingbird serves as a proof of craft and material innovation that could influence future bespoke projects and finishes.
