Rolls-Royce Phantom Dentelle: One-Off Luxury Vehicle With Hand-Made Elements

Rolls-Royce has unveiled a custom-made iteration of the Phantom called the Dentelle. The word "Dentelle" is the French word for lace. The car features handmade couture lace with over 160,000 stitches. It gets a floral coachline motif to comply with the preferences of a client's father. It has been commissioned by a wealthy consumer from the Middle East as a gift for their father.

Curated through the brand's exclusive Private Office in Dubai, the Phantom Dentelle drew inspiration from high-fashion lace. The fabric showcases three-dimensional floral designs and intricate details that resemble the delicate shape of pearls, influencing both the interior and exterior designs.

In developing this commission, the Rolls-Royce Bespoke designers crafted a floral arrangement inspired by haute couture lace. To capture the textures of petals, ferns, and lace, the embroidery incorporates a variety of stitching techniques, thread densities, and color blends, including Rose Gold, Sunrise, and Oatmeal.

A delicate lace-like foundation featuring a triple-run stitch establishes the intricate mesh framework. Over this structure, satin stitch outlines floral designs, while elevated embellishments reflect the original pearl accents. This piece is composed of more than 160,000 stitches layered through eight different techniques.

The speaker grilles are finished in Rose Gold. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars' Interior Trim Center points out that the intricate embroidery in both the Gallery and the rear Waterfall area is exceptionally detailed. It is crafted to replicate the sheen of pearls and to reflect light as one moves around the luxury sedan, especially as sunlight changes while driving.

Most of the interior surfaces are upholstered in leather shades of Sunrise and Grace White. The space is completed with Piano White veneer and embroidered "RR" monograms on both the front and rear headrests, creating a lounge-like atmosphere.

The car features a bespoke two-tone paint job. The lower portion is painted in Crystal over Arctic White, while the upper part is finished in Crystal over Palais Nemaskar Dawn, a color exclusively reserved for Phantom vehicles commissioned by a customer from the Middle East.

The Phantom Dentelle is equipped with 22-inch Fully Polished Disc wheels that have body-colored centers and Arctic White center pinstripes. The Spirit of Ecstasy mascot, adorned in Rose Gold, perches atop a polished Pantheon Grille. Additionally, the bespoke engraved treadplates are also accented in Rose Gold.

The vehicle maintains the standard powertrain, which means it is powered by the 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine, generating 563 horsepower and 900 Nm of torque. This luxury sedan can accelerate from 0 to 96 kmph in 4.5 seconds and has a top speed of 250 kmph.
