Phantom Dragon offers a contemporary rendition of the ancient Chinese legend of two dragons with a pearl. While the dragons symbolise power and good fortune, the pearl is a symbol of purity and perfection.

Inside, Phantom Dragon features a Bespoke Gallery with a floating effect that makes the dragon appear as if it is formed from clouds of smoke. This design took artisan at the Home of Rolls-Royce three months to create.

Other distinct features includes Ardent Red and black leathers on the front and rear reclining Serenity seats respectively. Also, the client’s family name is embroidered onto the headrests in ancient Chinese calligraphy.

The Phantom Dragon also features stunning Bespoke Starlight Headliner depicting an abstract representation of two dragons – a majestic celestial composition that comprises 768 red and 576 white fibre-optic lights.

“Our goal for this project was to express China’s most revered symbols and the client’s personal iconography impactfully yet respectfully, while also subtly incorporating Rolls-Royce’s design handwriting,” Shuai Feng, Lead Bespoke Designer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Private Office Shanghai

This magnificent example of the marque’s pinnacle Phantom provides a fitting conclusion to the lunar Year of the Dragon, as well as the beginning of the Phantom nameplate’s centenary in 2025.
