Rolls-Royce has hand built 25 Bespoke cars called Phantom Black. High lustre metallic Diamond Black paint is used on the body, complemented by twin silver coach lines. 21-inch alloy wheels come fitted with high performance Goodyear run flat tyres and feature unique black detailing and centre caps with RR badges, engineered to stay upright even at speed. At the rear of the Phantom Black, visible tail pipes hint at the car’s performance.
Under the bonnet the 6.75 litre V12 engine has been treated to gloss black inlet manifolds, chrome plated top covers and new black Rolls-Royce badges. The near silent motor provides 453bhp, enough to propel the Phantom Black from 0-60mph in just 5.7 seconds and on to a limited top speed of 149mph.
Inside, soft black leather upholstery is edged with Seashell piping. Black ash wood veneers are used throughout and while dark in finish, still allow the natural grain to show through. A silver pinstripe adorns each door capping. The dashboard is finished in special black metal foil with a finely embossed diamond pattern. A slightly thicker rimmed steering wheel adds to the dynamic spirit of the Phantom Black.
Graeme Grieve, Sales and Marketing Director, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, said, “Phantom Black uses a number of new Bespoke finishes and materials to create a contemporary car that blends aesthetics and engineering, emphasising the dynamic character of the car.”

the thing about these cars being “BMW”’s is largly untrue, as the engine is in no way a BMW engine, being more reminicent of an airplane engine than a car engine, and also that they are still built in the UK if im not mistaken. sorry madcapp, but that had to come out.

Being the thoughtful and level headed guy that I am, I’ll encourage you to actually learn about the Phantom, and from a well known limey.

As this is bespoke, may I swap the Nokia 8800 for a Liz Hurley clone?

I must say that I like this car’s design…normally I’m not too fond of Rolls-Royce, but this one is very elegant.
