BERLIN: Rolls-Royce introduced another special-edition Phantom, following the launch of the Rolls-Royce Phantom Serenity at the 2015 Geneva auto show. Called the Rolls-Royce Phantom Limelight, the new special edition hyper-luxury sedan aims to cater to high-profile individuals who jump in-between social events throughout their daily life.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom Limelight derives its namesake from the historical stage lighting used to illuminate actors on stage during their performance. As such, the Phantom Limelight is tailored to fit in with socialites, playboys, and bon vivants.
The Phantom Limelight features a mix of interior modifications over a normal Rolls-Royce Phantom. The most significant change is the inclusion of imbedded luxury storage in the rear door panels. The door panels have storage for personal effects, including two watch holders, three custom bottles for fragrance that can be filled with whatever fragrance they desire, a carbon-fiber and aluminium glasses holder, and storage for jewellery or makeup.
Craftspeople also turned their attention to the rear seating arrangement, creating what they call a “Phantom Suite.” Two diamond-stitched executive-style seats have been modified to provide the perfect amount of comfort and support, with special emphasis placed on its ability to perfectly recline to the passenger’s needs.
On the outside, the Limelight is coated in a rich Gala Blue paint colour, with a Seashell and Navy Blue pinstripe running down the side. The Limelight is shod with special nine-spoke wheels unique to the special edition.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom Limelight is limited to 25 units worldwide. Official pricing information has not been released, but considering it is a special limited edition of an already expensive vehicle, it won’t come cheap.
