Rolls-Royce has shown off its newest one-of-a-kind car, which is called “the most technically complex Bespoke Phantom ever made.” The Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective and the well-known Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen worked together to make the very complicated Rolls-Royce Phantom Syntopia. In fact, the one-of-a-kind Phantom gets its name from Iris van Herpen’s groundbreaking 2018 collection, which was based on patterns and shapes found in nature. According to the British luxury car company, the project was worked on nonstop for four years.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom Syntopia is based on the Phantom Extended model, which the British company calls the ultimate blank slate for customization. They call it a masterpiece inspired by Haute Couture. The Dutch fashion designer says that Syntopia’s custom design was inspired by the beauty of fluid motion in rigid materials. He calls this idea “weaving water.” Even though the exterior form is the same, the one-off is painted with a custom Liquid Noir paint that changes from blue to magenta to gold.

The car company came up with a whole new way to put pigment on the clearcoat, which took more than 3000 hours to try and prove. Also, the hood has a small version of the “Weaving Water” design that is found throughout the car’s interior.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom Syntopia really shines on the inside. It has designs made by the Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective in Goodwood and members of van Herpen’s team in Amsterdam. The designs were inspired by Weaving Water. The best example is the handmade headliner, which was made from a single sheet of leather cut from more than 1,000 different hides. The car’s headliner has a 3D design made with woven nylon cloth that looks like a silver “liquid metal” texture. It was called the most technically difficult part of the car.

Also, it has 162 “delicate petals made of glass organza” that took van Herpen’s team nearly 300 hours to make at the Rolls-Royce plant in Goodwood. It also has around 1000 fiber-optic “stars” inside that sparkle. Just making the title took about 700 hours of work, which shows how hard and complicated it is.

Another great thing about the Rolls-Royce Phantom Syntopia is that it has a unique smell that was made with the help of the person who ordered it. It is the first Rolls-Royce to have its own scent. In the headrests, there is a patented system for releasing the smell. “For this special partnership, I was inspired by the idea of ‘Weaving Water’ and turned the feeling of being in motion into an immersive experience of fluidity inside the Phantom. I wanted this to be a state-of-the-art way to feel like the forces of nature were taking over.

Van Herpen said, “The powerful movement of the Phantom is woven into the changing three-dimensional waves inside the car to show how clever nature is.” As expected, Rolls-Royce has decided not to say who the one-off car’s owner is or how much it costs, but we won’t be surprised if it’s more than $2 million.
