Rolls-Royce Unveils The Phantom Scintilla Private Collection Inspired By The Spirit Of Ecstasy
Rolls-Royce introduces Phantom Scintilla Private Collection inspired by the dynamism and ethereal beauty of the Spirit of Ecstasy.
Based on Phantom Extended, the Phantom Scintilla Private Collection is limited to just ten (10) examples worldwide.
As part of activities to celebrate its 120th anniversary, Rolls-Royce Motors has unveiled the Phantom Scintilla Private Collection – a limited-edition model inspired by the grace, dynamism and ethereal beauty of the Spirit of Ecstasy.
Based on Phantom Extended, the Phantom Scintilla Private Collection is limited to just ten (10) examples worldwide – all of which have been allocated to clients through Rolls-Royce Private Office network.
Rolls-Royce says that the Phantom Scintilla derives its name from the Latin word for ‘spark’ – and in this case sculptor Charles Sykes’s first flash of inspiration for a mascot, after being commissioned to create a Rolls-Royce mascot.
Phantom Scintilla’s exterior is inspired by the colours of the sea around the island of Samothrace. It has a two-tone Bespoke finish with Andalusian White on the upper body and Thracian Blue on the lower body.

The Spirit of Ecstasy figurine on the Phantom Scintilla gets a ceramic finish that skilfully alludes to the texture of Parian marble, while retaining its familiar femininity and ethereality.
“To create a clear and elegant connection to the famed statue, we developed a ceramic finish that captures the translucence and purity of this unique stone, and perfectly embraces the ethereal nature of our icon,” said Celina Mettang, Bespoke Colour and Material Designer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
Inside, the embroidered motif on the Phantom Scintilla doors is the most complex door design ever on a Rolls-Royce. It is made of 633,000 stitches and it combines Blue Grey, Arctic White, Spirit Blue, Powder Blue and Pastel Yellow thread, complemented by illuminated perforations.
But the centrepiece of Phantom Scintilla is the “Celestial Pulse” – a Bespoke artwork in the Gallery which runs the full width of the front fascia. It consists of seven ribbons, each individually milled from solid aluminium, before being adorned with the same finely-grained ceramic finish as the Spirit of Ecstasy figurine.
In addition, Claude Johnson’s original brief for a Rolls-Royce mascot is displayed on an embossed plate concealed in the glove compartment.
These words, written in 1910, reads : “Speed with silence, the absence of vibration, the mysterious harnessing of great energy, and a beautiful living organism of superb grace.”
Overall, the full interior composition of the Rolls-Royce Phantom Scintilla comprises 869,500 stitches and took the over 40 hours to complete, according to the lead artisan, Brienny Dudley.
“We covered areas never explored in a Rolls-Royce before, achieving the most extensive density of embroidery ever seen in a Rolls-Royce motor car.” said
Katrin Lehmann, Bespoke Colour and Material Designer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
