Luxury carmaker reveals exclusive Phantom model resembling the iconic 1937 Phantom III from James Bond
Rolls-Royce unveils its latest creation: a two-tone Phantom inspired by the 1937 model from the James Bond film Goldfinger. Discover the three-year journey behind this unique project.
Rolls-Royce has once again proven its commitment to crafting exceptional, bespoke vehicles with the unveiling of its latest masterpiece – a two-tone Phantom. This luxurious creation, which draws inspiration from the 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III featured in the iconic James Bond film Goldfinger, showcases the brand’s dedication to innovation and artistry. Taking three years to complete, this extraordinary project reflects Rolls-Royce's unmatched attention to detail and craftsmanship, solidifying its place as a leader in the world of luxury automobiles.
The Two-Tone Phantom: A Tribute to Goldfinger
The newly unveiled two-tone Phantom bears a striking resemblance to the 1937 Phantom III made famous by its appearance in the classic James Bond film Goldfinger. Known for its elegance and grandeur, the original Phantom III was synonymous with luxury and sophistication, making it the perfect choice for a high-profile customer looking for something unique.
According to Telegrafi, Rolls-Royce dedicated a full three years to this project, with an entire year focused solely on collecting the necessary materials and fine-tuning the design. This process involved the careful exploration of 10 different variations of a 3D stainless steel coating before designers settled on the final version, ensuring that every aspect of the vehicle met Rolls-Royce’s high standards.
A Complex Journey to Perfection
"Bringing Phantom Goldfinger to life was one of the longest creative journeys," said Nick Rhodes, one of Rolls-Royce’s esteemed designers. The team’s dedication to achieving perfection is evident in every detail of the two-tone Phantom, from its meticulously crafted body to its intricate finishes. The use of stainless steel in the car’s 3D coating is particularly noteworthy, reflecting both the brand’s cutting-edge approach to design and its commitment to preserving the timeless elegance of its heritage models.
This project was commissioned by an “important” Rolls-Royce customer based in England, a detail that underscores the brand’s focus on creating highly exclusive, one-of-a-kind vehicles for its clientele. With such a rare model, it's unlikely that another version of the Phantom Goldfinger will ever be produced, adding to its mystique and allure.
