Rolls-Royce has premiered a new bespoke line of several models at the motor show in Paris.
Five new bespoke programs are on display, starting with the Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB Bespoke Gunmetal metallic. That model comes with a full natural leather grain, mother-of-pearl inserts in the door cappings as well as adorning the instrument panel, veneered table backs, Rolls-Royce inlays in the headrests and black seat piping.
The Phantom Drophead Coupe in Carrara White metallic is individualized with touches such as the cross-banded elm cluster in the steering wheel spokes, lambswool floor mats and the single coachline in Hotspur Red.
The Phantom Coupe in Syrah Red metallic gets a twin coachline in black, carbon fiber veneered steering wheel spokes and a full seat piping in Consort Red.
The bespoke additions for the Rolls-Royce Ghost in Ghost Silver 100 include a single coachline in crème light, black-stained ash veneer, black contrast stitching and silver pinstripes.
Lastly, is the Rolls-Royce Ghost in Bespoke Midnight Sapphire which features a fleet blue seat piping and Spirit of Ecstasy inlays to the door cappings.
Rolls-Royce has announced two bespoke Phantoms for the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The Baynunah Phantom features BMW-sourced Milano Beige paint, an Everflex tan roof, a gold plated Spirit of Ecstasy, and 21-inch seven-spoke wheels. Interior options include Walnut bur veneer, Arabian camel harness-inspired wood inlay, a Starlight headliner, and RR logo embroidered headrests.
The other edition is the falcon inspired Shaheen Phantom Coupe, with Orchid Pearl paint and 21-inch polished wheels. The cabin offers Mugello Red / Seashell leather upholstery, a red carbon fiber instrument panel, and Marine White veneers.

The seller of this car on eBay Motors tells it’s a replica of the unreleased Rolls-Royce RR4. It’s got the big grill and suicide doors, so the half-blind might almost believe this is a Roller instead of a Chrysler 300C. Starting bid is $46.500, would it be worth it? At least there’s one positive point, repair costs are bound to be cheaper compared to the real car.
The baby Rolls Royce RR4 has been caught on the roads of Dubai. It was back in May of this year Rolls Royce officially announced the RR4 with a couple of teasers sketches.
The luxury sedan will get its chassis and componentry from the long wheel base BMW 7-Series, but it has been suggested that the RR4 will get its own engine. This is perhaps hard to believe and we think the Roller might get a modified BMW engine from either the X6 or the 760i.
The new Rolls Royce is scheduled to launch in 2010, after an expected world debut at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show.
