Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II makes North American debut at Monterey Car Week

MANILA: The Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II made its North American debut at “The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering” event at the Monterey Car Week 2022.

The Phantom was designed by Rolls-Royce to be the ultimate “blank canvas.” The unique Bespoke commission seen at The Quail has been dubbed “Maverick” by the Rolls-Royce designers as a way to highlight the excellence of Bespoke design with Phantom Series II.

“Each commission represents a distinct design reflecting an aspect of what Phantom means to its ultimate owner. Many Phantom owners achieve their success through new ideas, unconventional methods, and their own relentless self-belief. The ‘Maverick’ Bespoke persona demonstrates how Phantom adapts to the modern age, asserting a creative, independent character,” Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Bespoke Head Jonathan Simms stated.

The new Phantom uses light to amplify the impact of the famous Starlight Headliner to the exterior. The Pantheon Grille is now illuminated and the headlights are adorned with 580 exquisite laser-cut bezel starlights. These features enhance the Phantom’s nighttime presence and establish a visual connection to the Starlight Headliner inside.

The exterior is finished in a traditional Rolls-Royce two-tone colorway with Black over Monteverde green highlighting a striking hand-applied Peony Pink coachline. On the inside, the Phantom features a Scivaro Grey interior suite with vibrant Peony Pink swatches. The canadel paneling and Obsidian Ayous open pore wood give a modern yet cozy appeal. The Gallery features a world-first embroidery that is done in Scivaro Grey with Peony Pink thread.

“Phantom represents the pinnacle of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and Phantom Series II showcases the ultimate potential of the Rolls-Royce Bespoke Design Collective,” Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Chief Executive Officer Torsten Muller-Otvos said. “The artisans at The Home of Rolls-Royce, in Goodwood, are the best at combining metal, wood, leather, and a myriad of materials into a commission that represents the personality of each of our patrons. Designed to be the ultimate blank canvas for Bespoke, we are excited to see how each of our American clients interprets Phantom for themselves as they create a Bespoke commission that expresses their own character, desires, and interests.”

As part of the 2022 Pebble Beach Collection, the Phantom Series II “Maverick” has a treadplate with the inscription “Pebble Beach 2022 Special Commission.” The first-ever Black Badge Cullinan in Forbidden Pink and a new finish, Ghost in Crystal over Sagano Green, round out the collection.
