Rolls-Royce: 3 Bespoke Car Stories
As Rolls-Royce Motor Cars opens its world class showroom in the Philippines, let these three bespoke stories inspire your next personalisation.
The Rolls-Royce Motor Cars space in the cosmopolitan centre that is Bonifacio Global City opens with the Ghost Series II. The latest vehicle features a reimagination of the exterior face as well as new paint and wheel options for better Bespoke personalisation. Technological and engineering changes are subtle but have great impact on the modern elegance and supreme comfort the Ghost series is known for.
The 323-square-metre facility makes room for two more cars on display, owing to the demand of Manila's clientele and the burgeoning Asia-Pacific region. The showroom also hosts a specially-designed "Bespoke lounge," a space that exhibits the luxury that can be found and detailed into Bespoke elements of Rolls-Royce vehicles. For a little inspiration, these Rolls-Royce Bespoke stories should have you dreaming up your next customisation.
1. The Year of the Dragon Phantom
The Manila showroom is now the 25th in the region outside of mainland China. Clearly the automobile's traditional look and modern interiors fare well in the Asian market. A subtle design on the elegant Phantom's coach lin to mark the auspicious Year of the Dragon demonstrates this interesting assimilation of the English brand.
2. Peninsula Phantoms
Iconic hospitality names around the world like The Ritz in London or Peninsula Hotels in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Tokyo have their own fleets of Rolls-Royce cars to anticipate the needs and tastes of their discerning patrons. The Peninsula's logo on the tread-plate is one thing, the champagne coolers are another.
3. Fux Candy Red
American philanthropist Michael Fux went beyond the usual insignia or family crest detail. The special "Fux Candy Red" paint is reserved for the businessman's use. His commissions also incorporate the shade into the weave of custom-made interiors.
