Rolls-Royce unveils new Phantom Scintilla
19 Aug 2024|237 views
Rolls-Royce has unveiled a new Phantom Scintilla, designed to mark its 120th anniversary and to serve as a tribute to the Spirit of Ecstasy.
Based on the Phantom Extended, the Phantom Scintilla will be limited to just 10 examples, all of which will be available exclusively through the marque's international Private Office network.
At the front, the Phantom Scintilla stands out with its unique Spirit of Ecstasy figurine, here given a ceramic finish that alludes to the texture of Parian marble. The car also gets a two-tone finish, with its upper section complete in Andalusian White, and its lower body in Thracian Blue.
These colours are inspired by the colours of the sea around the island of Samothrace, where The Winged Victory of Samothrace - the inspiration for the Spirit of Ecstasy - originates. This paint finish is also given a subtle metallic flake, to mimic the sparkle of sunlight on the water, while a hand-painted double Coachline and Wheel Pinstripes in Spirit Blue complete the exterior.
Inside, the car also features a host of design touches inspired by the Spirit of Ecstasy's expressive, dynamic form.
These start with an embroidered motif on the doors. Comprising 633,000 stitches combining Blue Grey, Arctic White, Spirit Blue, Powder Blue and Pastel Yellow thread, the design is said to be the most complex yet seen on a Rolls-Royce. This embroidery is further complemented by illuminated perforations, allowing it to deliver a luminescent sparkle at night.
The car also comes with a bespoke artwork in the Gallery, which runs the full width of its front fascia. Titled Celestial Pulse, the work consists of seven ribbons, each individually milled from solid aluminium, before being adorned with the same finely grained ceramic finish as the Spirit of Ecstasy figurine.
The car also features a bespoke Starlight Headliner, here able to play an animation inspired by the Spirit of Ecstasy's flowing gown. This effect come courtesy of 1,500 fibre-optic 'stars', all placed and fitted by hand, and is completed with a further 4,450 perforations deliberately made larger than usual to reveal glimpses of a metallic silver fabric beneath.
The Phantom Scintilla is completed with the Private Collection name engraved on its polished stainless-steel treadplates, and each commission is supplied with a bespoke car cover.
