Rolls-Royce<\/a> has revealed the Rolls-Royce Phantom Regatta, a one-of-one Phantom Extended (long-wheelbase) commission that pays tribute to the racing yachts of the English South Coast and their regattas held on the nearby Solent and Chichester Harbour, which can be seen from Goodwood.<\/p>\n

Sure, the car may look like a regular Phantom<\/a> from a distance. But this is Rolls-Royce, and nothing it builds is ever truly \u2018regular\u2019. The blue is no ordinary blue; its deep marine tone is called Regatta Blue, and it\u2019s complemented by English White that lines the lower parts of the car for a two-tone finish.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rolls-Royce says this was made to recreate the line where the hull of the yacht meets the water. To finish off its looks, it sits on 22-inch fully polished disc wheels \u2014 inspired by the mirror finish of polished steel winches of a racing yacht.<\/p>\n

Inside is where things start to feel properly special. The colour theme is inspired by a yacht under full sail, with the deep blue below representing the waters and the white representing the canvas above. The front of the cabin is upholstered in Navy Blue leather; the rear suite is finished in Grace White. For a pop of contrast, the seat and door piping, along with the contrast stitching and steering wheel, are finished in both tones.<\/p>\n

Just like the furnishing of a yacht, the wood veneer used is Piano Milori paired with Open Pore Royal Walnut. This is featured on the Waterfall (rear passenger centre console), rear doors and picnic table tops.<\/p>\n

Each picnic table took 120 man-hours to complete. It uses 16 \u2018planks\u2019 of Royal Walnut, all cut from the same section of wood for a uniform grain pattern. The \u2018planks\u2019 were also laid from the centre outwards for a bookmatched effect. The pieces are then lined with individual pieces of Black Bolivar wood, measuring two millimetres wide to avoid any visible joins, in the manner of deck caulking.<\/p>\n

Centrepiece of it all is the hand-painted Gallery, named \u201cWatercolour\u201d, spanning across the front dashboard of the Phantom Regatta; it was curated by the marque\u2019s in-house artist using specially developed paints. The artwork wasn\u2019t done on a piece of canvas either; it\u2019s an open-pore wooden substrate.<\/p>\n

As for the bespoke Starlight Headliner, Rolls-Royce says it\u2019s inspired by the swirling tidal currents around the Isle of Wight. Altogether, the design comprises 1,307 hand-placed fibre-optic \u2018stars\u2019.<\/p>\n

As for the final bespoke touch, each \u2018eyeball\u2019 air vent is engraved with a set of geographic coordinates that are only visible when the vent is tilted forward. The passenger-side vent includes the coordinates of Goodwood House; the driver-side vent carries those of the Home of Rolls-Royce. This references that these two locations only sit within one mile (1.6km) of each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s the bespoke artwork, the tide-inspired Starlight Headliner, or even the hidden coordinate engravings, the Phantom Regatta is another reminder that, with Rolls-Royce, the smallest details often tell the biggest story. The car is set to make its public debut at Chichester Harbour during the Goodwood Festival of Speed<\/a>, which runs from July 9 to 12.<\/p>\n
