It’s lonely at the top. And by that we mean that, if you’re shopping at the very pinnacle of the automotive market, you’ve really only got a few choices. Looking for a stately saloon? Then you’re looking at a Rolls-Royce, a Bentley or maybe a Maybach, but that’s about it. So you can be sure your friends, neighbors and fellow captains of industry will already have whatever you’re looking at. What’s an elitist to do?
That could explain the seemingly endless array of special editions a company like Rolls-Royce announces out on an annual basis. But this year is a special year for the iconic motor company, as it celebrates 100 years of its legendary mascot – the Spirit of Ecstasy. And to mark the occasion, Rolls has announced a special run of commemorative Phantoms.
The special edition is differentiated from the rest of the Phantoms you’ll see at the country club with a series of unique touches. For one, the hood ornament is plated in silver, and buyers get a replica statuette to put on their desks as well. For another, four exclusive paint options are offered, including Rhapsody Black, Maiden Blue, Ethereal White Pearl and Wildflower, complimented by black chrome badges.
The interior also features a number of special accents, from the unique instruments and Britannia Silver clock to the commemorative plaque and a special inscription on the glovebox lid, which you can read all about in the press release after the jump.
