Rolls-Royce has done it again, blending cinema and craftsmanship into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece: the Phantom Goldfinger. This Phantom Extended was inspired by the 1964 James Bond classic, Goldfinger, and took three years to make. Having this car is not only about driving, but entering into a world of timeless luxury any car enthusiast would appreciate.
Interior Details and Craftsmanship
Stepping into the Phantom Goldfinger is like stepping into Bond’s world. It features a navy leather interior with exquisite gold stitching throughout the air vents, speaker grilles and treadplates all in gold plated. The VIN ends with “007”, and there’s a solid 18 carat gold bar in the center console hidden in the shape of a Phantom speedform, which is Bondworthy enough.
Exterior and Tribute Design
Equally captivating on the exterior, the car is finished in a two tone palette that recalls the original yellow of the 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III used in the film. With a striking black center, the 21 inch disc wheels mimic the hubcaps of the original and give off a “floating” effect. This new “James Bond” Phantom raises the standard for custom design and provides a touch of nostalgia for individuals who enjoy luxury with a backstory.
Unique Features for the Ultimate Drive
The “007-inspired” Phantom Goldfinger is a wonderful fusion of art and function, and it significantly elevates the driving experience. The dashboard gallery is a hand drawn isoline map of the Furka Pass as a significant place in the film, paired with a starlight headliner that recreates the night sky over the pass at the very end of filming in 1964. The gold inlaid picnic tables add to the car’s storytelling by including a fictional map of Fort Knox. With its fascinating history and meticulous attention to detail, the Phantom Goldfinger is the pick of Chic Icon this week.
Conclusion
This car combines custom design with cinematic flair, making it more than just a luxury vehicle. It’s a rare, one of a kind creation from the gold bar hidden in the console to the iconic paint and intricate detailing. For those who follow Chic Icon, this new Rolls-Royce Phantom Goldfinger is the definition of workmanship and serves as a reminder that luxury is found in the little things, not only in the most expensive materials.
