Rolls Royce, celebrating centenary of the Spirit of Ecstasy in 2011, announced new bespoke Phantom models. This collection relevantly named Spirit of Ecstasy Centenary Collection, consists of only 100 highly exclusive models inspired by the legendary flying lady, featuring unique exterior colours, wood veneers and leather options.
The unique treatment starts with the Flying Lady herself! These special Phantom will come with a unique silver ornament with a base complete with black-gold plated bezel bearing the commemorative inscription Spirit of Ecstasy Centenary – 2011, a legend repeated on the cover plate when the mascot is lowered.
The Collection models also get a new and unique RR badge, located beneath the Spirit of Ecstasy, on the trunk lid as well as on front side panels. The badge reverses conventional design, with white enamel RR detail set on a black chrome background.
The interior as you would expect is just exquisite, in fact the Phantom has a timeless interior design. Collection cars come with an analogue clock fitted in the fascia panel, the outer bezel of which is crafted from Britannia Silver, incorporating the unique set of six hallmarks. The backlit face presents an inner ring of silver incorporating the centenary inscription.
You also get satin spun metal dials, centered with polished RR monograms are further enriched with polished chaplets and black numerals. The coolest feature however, is the discreet, solid Britannia Silver commemorative plaque engraved with the inscription Spirit of Ecstasy – One of One Hundred on the centre console.
Four exterior colour options are offered, all exclusive to Spirit of Ecstasy Centenary Collection cars, including Rhapsody Black, a black metallic incorporating a delicate gold sparkle and Maiden Blue a deep blue metallic highlighted with a silver sparkle, Ethereal White Pearl comes with a special pearlescent finish while Wildflower completes the bespoke paint offering, presenting a rich blend of red and brown colour with a fine sparkle.
You can match the exterior color with a selection of sumptuous leather and interior contrast schemes while hand crafted banding of Britannia Silver will be delicately inset into the customer’s chosen veneer.
Owners will also receive a desk ornament (signed by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös) with their cars, a polished steel Spirit of Ecstasy mounted on a piano black base. That alone is enough reason to buy one of these Rollers!
