coupe.

The Celestial Phantom celebrates the night that the first modern Rolls-Royce Phantom rolled off the line on January 1, 2003. The headliner has an LED Starlight Headliner that recreates the constellations on that night. The car also has 446 diamonds positioned around the car, including in the door-cappings, center console lid and rear-privacy divider. The exterior color is meant to evoke the night sky. The interior also comes with a custom-made set of engraved glasses.

The Phantom Coupe Chicane celebrates the brand’s early motorsports heritage. The interior wood trim is replaced by carbon fiber, and the hoot and windshield surround are matte black, while the rest of the car is painted in Gunmetal gray. The interior is covered in red leather with a checkered flag embroidered into the headrests on the seats.

The Alpine Trial Centenary Ghost looks back on Rolls-Royce’s win in the 1913 Alpine Trial. It is painted in an identical blue color with a black grill as the original car. The interior shows the map of the route and the original stage times.

Finally, Rolls-Royce is showing off its latest model – the Wraith coupe. It is the most powerful Rolls-Royce car in its history with 624hp from a twin-turbo V12. It accelerates to 60 in 4.4 seconds. It comes with cutting edge technology like a satellite-aided transmission that uses GPS to predict the road ahead and automatically select the correct gear for upcoming conditions.

“The Middle East is the largest market for Bespoke in the world and in celebration of this we sought to create something truly special for the Dubai International Motor Show,” said Torsten Müller‑Ötvös, CEO of Rolls-Royce.
