Inside Phantom Centenary, surfaces capture magnificent archival references, rich in detail. Across its canvases, a century of Phantom’s story elegantly unfolds.

The rear seats, developed alongside a fashion atelier, are layered artworks in themselves – combining high-resolution printed textiles, finely drawn linework, and delicate golden embroidery. Over 12 months of development, this process required entirely new inks, finishes, and techniques, culminating in 45 individually crafted panels, perfectly tailored and aligned by hand.

The front seats are laser-etched with motifs based on original engineering notes.
From a seagull that recalls the codename of the 1923 Phantom I prototype, to the rabbit motif inspired by “Roger Rabbit”, the codename for Rolls-Royce’s 2003 relaunch. These cues elegantly carry the extraordinary weight of Phantom’s legacy.

Evoking the elegance of a black-and-white film star, Phantom Centenary recalls Hollywood’s golden age. Its Bespoke two-tone finish captures a timeless glamour that shines through in every detail.

Set against the contrasting paintwork, golden details illuminate the motor car’s form with a mesmerising radiance.

The most intricate woodwork ever created for a Rolls-Royce transforms the door panels into living landscapes of Phantom’s history. Crafted from Blackwood using 3D ink layering, 3D marquetry and 24-carat gold leafing, each panel depicts a defining moment in Phantom’s journey — from the French Riviera to the English coastlines of early test drives, and across the epic 4,500-mile voyage spanning the Australian continent.

Picnic tables carry etched portraits of the 1925 Phantom I and the Phantom VIII, a nod to the past and present.

Resolving the exterior is a set of Bespoke disc wheels, each engraved with 25 lines – honouring the 25 motor cars within the collection and together making 100 to celebrate Phantom’s centenary year.

For the designers, engineers and artisans who created the Phantom Centenary Private Collection, this motor car was a once-in-a-generation responsibility.

What has been achieved reflects the same spirit that gave rise to Phantom itself: Rolls-Royce’s relentless pursuit of perfection and ambition to craft the best motor car in the world.
