Two exceptional motor cars will be added to the collection of 30 Rolls-Royce Phantom cars displayed at “The 13†hotel. This will only be visible to the hotel’s most important guests. Two golden bespoke creations were commissioned by luxury entrepreneur Stephen Hung for his hotel.
The golden bespoke Rolls-Royce Phantom cars will have 24 carat gold on both the exterior and interior and is the finest (and most expensive) in the fleet at the time of commissioning.
Giles Taylor, Director of Design, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, commented, “A Rolls-Royce motor car is commissioned to express the tastes, desires and lifestyle of its patron. It is testament to the skill of the artisans that so elegantly express their craft at our Global Centre of Excellence in Goodwood, that this bold and technically challenging design scheme has been executed so perfectly.â€
The Surface Finish Centre at the Rolls-Royce Global Centre of Excellence in Goodwood installed new and specialist equipment to ensure no contamination could occur during the painting of the two motor cars. The finish uses 250% more paint than other Phantoms, resulting in an impressive 10 layers, one of which consists of a 40 micron deep layer of Gold, combined with glass and aluminum to provide an alluring shimmer.
Rolls-Royce Material Scientist, Nick Geehan, commented, “Only at the Home of Rolls-Royce would a team embark on such an ambitious project on behalf of one of our patrons. We accept nothing but perfection – the finish took eight attempts to mix the perfect color; an apt number when considering the significance of lucky number eight in Macau, the home for these precious Phantoms.â€
