Rolls-Royce surpasses itself again with Phantom Scintilla, a bespoke masterpiece of luxury and artistry

[Digimaus]

 

Rolls-Royce has unveiled the Phantom Scintilla, a stunningly beautiful bespoke edition of their flagship sedan. This limited edition creation is more than a car; it’s a rolling masterpiece that showcases Rolls-Royce’s unparalleled ability to transform a vehicle into a personalized work of art.

 

A Tribute to History and Art

The Phantom Scintilla is a homage to the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy, the emblem that has graced Rolls-Royce vehicles since 1911. Originally sculpted by Charles Sykes and inspired by the ancient Greek statue, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, the Spirit of Ecstasy has been a defining symbol of the brand. The Phantom Scintilla reimagines this iconic figure in a luxurious ceramic finish, a contemporary interpretation that pays tribute to the Parian marble of the original sculpture.

 

 

Exquisite Exterior Design

The Phantom Scintilla’s exterior is a masterpiece of design. The upper body is adorned in immaculate Andalusian White, while the lower portion shimmers in a mesmerizing Thracian Blue. This striking two-tone color scheme evokes the Aegean Sea surrounding the island of Samothrace, a subtle nod to the Winged Victory's origins. The paint is further accentuated by a hand-painted double coachline and wheel pinstripes in Spirit Blue, adding a final, exquisite touch. 

 

 

 

Luxurious Interior Craftsmanship

Step inside the Phantom Scintilla, and you are immersed in a world of opulence and artistry. The coach doors and rear fabric seats showcase intricate embroidery, exemplifying Rolls-Royce’s incomparable  craftsmanship. The seats alone boast an extraordinary 869,500 stitches, while the door panels feature an additional 633,000 stitches, making this the most complex door design ever seen in a Rolls-Royce. The seats are finished in a twill fabric with a reflective sheen, enhancing the cabin’s luxurious ambiance.

 

 

An animated Starlight headliner graces the Phantom Scintilla’s interior. Featuring 1,500 hand-placed fiber optic stars, it creates an ethereal ambiance reminiscent of a starlit sky. Inspired by the flowing gown of the Spirit of Ecstasy, this headliner infuses the cabin with a sense of enchantment. The Gallery, a unique space on the dashboard, houses the ‘Celestial Pulse’ Gallery artwork. This unique piece, composed of seven milled aluminum "ribbons" with a ceramic finish, echoes the car’s exterior and adds a layer of artistic sophistication.

 

 

 

Limited Edition Luxury

With only ten examples to be produced, each Phantom Scintilla is a unique masterpiece crafted for the most discerning clientele. Given the extraordinary level of artistry and exclusivity, the Phantom Scintilla will undoubtedly command a substantial price tag. While the official cost remains undisclosed, it is expected to be one of the most expensive Phantoms ever sold in North America.
