Ultra luxury car maker Rolls-Royce has a reputation for creating some of the world’s rarest and most exclusive cars. Over the years, the brand has built several one-off models for special customers. Now, it has revealed another unique creation called the Phantom Regatta. Built as a single unit, this bespoke Phantom Extended celebrates Britain’s sailing culture and the famous racing yachts seen along the country’s southern coastline.
A design inspired by the sea
The Phantom Regatta has been designed with ideas taken from classic sailing yachts. Every part of the car has a connection with the sea.
Some of the exterior highlights include:
- Regatta Blue paint on the upper body
- English White finish on the lower section
- Hand-painted two-tone separation line
- 22-inch fully polished disc wheels
- Wheel finish inspired by polished yacht winches
The blue and white colour combination represents the point where a yacht meets the water, giving the luxury sedan a clean and elegant appearance.
Cabin gets a completely different look
The interior follows the same sailing theme with different colours and handcrafted materials.
The front section is finished in Navy Blue leather, while the rear cabin uses Grace White leather. Rolls-Royce has also added Turchese embroidery on the RR monograms to reflect the colour of shallow coastal waters.
Other interior details include:
- Dual-tone stitching across the cabin
- Matching steering wheel and seat piping
- Piano Milori veneer
- Open Pore Royal Walnut wood finish
- Satin finish on the waterfall section and rear doors
One of the most impressive parts is the picnic tables. They took around 120 hours to complete and are made using 16 carefully matched Royal Walnut pieces arranged to look like the wooden deck of a luxury yacht.
Handcrafted artwork across the dashboard
The dashboard features a special Gallery artwork called Watercolour. It has been painted by a Rolls-Royce artist using specially developed paints on open-pore wood. The artwork captures the movement of sea waves after weeks of testing different painting techniques.
Above the passengers, the Bespoke Starlight Headliner includes 1,307 fibre-optic stars arranged to represent the tidal currents around the Isle of Wight. The illuminated doors further add to the cabin experience.
Hidden details make it even more special
Rolls-Royce has also added small details that many owners may never notice immediately.
- Air vents feature engraved geographic coordinates
- One set points to Goodwood House
- The other marks the Home of Rolls-Royce
- Coordinates become visible only after tilting the vents forward
These small touches connect the car with the place where it was designed and handcrafted.
Rolls-Royce Phantom Regatta
The Phantom Regatta is another example of how Rolls-Royce turns a customer’s idea into a one-of-a-kind luxury car. From the special paint finish to the handcrafted woodwork, artwork and hidden details, every element has been created with exceptional attention. With only one example being built, it joins the list of the brand’s most exclusive Bespoke creations.
