The car takes its cues from the Spirit of Ecstasy, the iconic hood ornament that graces every Rolls-Royce. This emblem has inspired a design that's both intricate and opulent.
On the outside, the Phantom Scintilla sports a two-tone paint job. The upper body shines in Andalusian White, while the lower half gleams in Thracian Blue. A double pinstripe in white and blue runs the length of the car, adding a touch of elegance.
The Spirit of Ecstasy itself gets special treatment. It's made of ceramic and draws inspiration from an ancient Greek sculpture. The Winged Victory of Samothrace, a marble masterpiece from 190 BCE, sparked Claude Johnson's imagination when he created the Spirit of Ecstasy back in 1910.
Rolls-Royce Phantom Scintilla Private Collection
Rolls-Royce spent over two and a half years developing the Phantom Scintilla's interior. The result? A cabin that's a work of art in its own right. The starlight headliner, a Rolls-Royce signature, features a unique pattern that enhances the sense of motion.
The embroidery work is mind-boggling. There are 36 sections across the doors and seats, totaling an incredible 633,000 stitches. It takes 40 hours just to produce this intricate needlework.
The dashboard houses a striking art piece called "Celestial Pulse." Seven aluminum ribbons crisscross the dash, finished in the same ceramic material as the Spirit of Ecstasy.
While Rolls-Royce hasn't revealed exact pricing, they've hinted that the Phantom Scintilla will be among the most expensive Phantoms available. Despite the hefty price tag, all ten units have already found buyers.
