Rolls-Royce Unveils Phantom Scintilla Private Collection: A Tribute to the Spirit of Ecstasy
In 2024, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars marks its 120th anniversary by introducing the exclusive Phantom Scintilla Private Collection—a grand tribute to the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy. This collection, limited to just ten examples worldwide, celebrates the elegance, grace, and legacy that have defined Rolls-Royce for over a century. With the Phantom Scintilla, the luxury automaker offers a masterpiece that fuses meticulous craftsmanship with innovative design, embodying the pinnacle of bespoke luxury.
A Century of Inspiration: The Spirit of Ecstasy
The Spirit of Ecstasy, the elegant figure that has adorned Rolls-Royce motor cars since 1911, has long symbolized human achievement and artistic beauty. Over the years, this iconic mascot has inspired countless works of art, from music to photography. In creating the Phantom Scintilla, Rolls-Royce revisits the origins of this timeless muse, paying homage to the statue that first inspired it—The Winged Victory of Samothrace.
The Essence of Luxury: Exterior and Interior Craftsmanship
The Phantom Scintilla’s exterior is a sight to behold, featuring a two-tone Bespoke finish that echoes the serene colors of the Greek island of Samothrace. The upper body is elegantly coated in Andalusian White, while the lower body radiates in Thracian Blue. This sophisticated palette is further enhanced by a subtle metallic flake that mimics the sparkle of sunlight on water, creating a serene yet striking appearance.
Inside, the Phantom Scintilla continues to dazzle with its intricate and expressive design elements. The interior is adorned with a continuous graphic inspired by the flowing robes of the Spirit of Ecstasy, symbolizing movement and grace. This graphic, achieved through an unprecedented density of embroidery, flows seamlessly through the cabin, embracing the occupants in an uninterrupted visual journey.
Art and Technology: A Perfect Fusion
At the heart of the Phantom Scintilla is the 'Celestial Pulse' Gallery artwork—a stunning piece that spans the width of the front fascia. Crafted from solid aluminum and finished with a finely-grained ceramic coating, this artwork reflects the light in a way that creates a sense of movement and fluidity, mirroring the ethereal nature of the Spirit of Ecstasy.
The Starlight Headliner adds another layer of artistry, featuring an animation inspired by the Spirit of Ecstasy’s flowing gown. With 1,500 hand-placed fiber-optic 'stars' and 4,450 perforations revealing a metallic silver fabric beneath, this headliner creates a mesmerizing interplay of light and texture, enhancing the sense of motion within the cabin.
