Rolls-Royce will soon reveal a 25-run special edition of its Phantom flagship to commemorate the nameplate's centenary.
Described as an “exclusive Rolls-Royce Private Collection”, the new model will be based on the current eighth-generation Phantom, on sale since 2018, using its famed twin-turbocharged V12 engine.
Rolls-Royce bespoke boss Phil Fabre de la Grange said: “To honour Phantom in its centenary year, [we’ve] pioneered ground-breaking woodworking techniques, combining 3D ink layering, 3D marquetry and gilding within a single surface.
"These intricate processes push materials to the limits of their natural tolerance, transforming each panel into a stunning, tactile sculpture.
Named the Phantom Scintilla, it was said to be inspired by the firm’s famed Spirit of Ecstasy figurine.
