Mr Danton has been modifying cars for nearly two decades at his chateau in France. He reportedly spent three months tearing apart and re-piecing the masterpiece. As per Ladbible, he re-leathered the seats, added crocodile leather to the steering wheel, and even covered the armrest in snakeskin. There are even gold-plated brake callipers in a bid to provide a contrast to the car's matte black finish. 

On the outside, Mr Danton extended the Phantom using the shell and rear axle of a 2005 BMW seven series, the latter accommodating the extra wheels. The car also includes a roof rack, yellow light bar and extra side steps.

According to the automotive website HotCars, the power for this Rolls Royce Phantom 6x6 comes from the 2005 model's 6.8-litre V-12 engine. As per the outlet, the standard Phantom engine received no mechanical modifications from Mr Danton although a not-so-standard gold leaf covers the engine. 

Meanwhile, Mr Danton is known for his modified cars. He specialises in building hot rods. His work includes a 1971 Porsche 911T with its original engine swapped for a 6.75-litre Bentley V8 engine and a 1970 Lamborghini Espada powered by a new V12 engine from Sant' Agata Bolognese.
