There is no question that Wald body kits are among the most extreme one can find for any given make of car. But you may want to think twice before mixing that kit with an equally showy set of rims, because the end result could be way too startling. That, we reckon, is the case with this uniqueWald Rolls-Royce Dawn built in Japan, for Japan. This car is so wrong on so many levels, it almost becomes right again. The first issue with it, of course, is the fact one should not mess with the styling of a Roller. These cars are meant to be bespoke, personalized works of art and should be enjoyed as they are. Then there is the styling of the aftermarket kit itself, which has elements in its more...

It is said that the loudest thing you hear in a Rolls-Royce is the ticking of the bespoke clock. That ought to make it a perfect place to record music, apparently. That’s what they’ve been up to lately, lending a new 2018Rolls-Royce Phantom to British rapper Skepta to record a song in. Not only does this latest publicity stunt put the quietness of the car in perspective, it also promotes what kind of clientele Rolls-Royce is after these days. Gone are the days when only the exceedingly refined aristocracy drove this make of automobile, or rather were driven in. These days the real money is in the hands of artists like Skepta, or rather these are the wealthy ones with an insatiable d...

Novitec’s division in charge of upgrading Rolls-Royce automobiles, as you may know, is called SPOFEC. They have just come up with a new model which has the most apt name ever given to a tuner car.SPOFEC Rolls-Royce Dawn Overdose is exactly ...

One of the coolest things about buying a Rolls-Royce is the treatment they give you, from the first stages of choosing the specs and trims to the actual handover of the vehicle. That is why we don’t get the point of the online configurator they have launched for the new2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom....

Though one would have expected more changes after being in the works for twelve years or so, the new 2018Rolls-Royce Phantom is improved over the previous model substantially enough so as not leave much room for complaints. The ultimate luxury saloon gets a new chassis, a better engine, and a m...

You may have heard about Rolls-Royce’s Great Eight Phantoms exhibition set to go liveat Bonhams from 29 July to the 2 August.This exhibition is going to feature some amazing cars such as Field Marshal Montgomery’s Phantom and now this, the wonderfully crazy John Leon Phantom V. The legendar...

At this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed Rolls-Royce is going to introduce a new line of Black Badge models “beyond measurable limitations,” whatever that means. The car trusted with accomplishing this monumental task is the newRolls-Royce Dawn Black Badge, an open-top luxury cruiser with a lo...

Swedish skier Jon Olsson is more famous for his outrageous cars than anything else, and the latest addition to his collection is only going to to add to bolster that fame. It’s a one-of-a-kindRolls-Royce Wraith fitted with some truly amazing kits and options. While Rolls-Royce purists will no...

Celebrating the launch of the new Phantom, the eight generation of the car, Rolls-Royce has plaed a huge exhibition called‘The Great Eight Phantoms’ at the end of July. Now they have aounced that one of these greats will be a 1936Rolls-Royce Phantom III belonging to no other thanBritish F...

A car dealer must have a helluva lot of prestige for Rolls-Royce to accept a one-off commission from them.H.R. Owen has that kind of cred, and so when they approached the Goodwood-based luxury maker they were only too happy to make the super specialRolls-Royce Dawn Mayfair Edition for them. ...

One thing Rolls-Royce is not short of is special editions and one-offs. They have made so many of the stuff, it now takes a lot to stand out. The car either needs some really dope options or a absolutely unique paint work with a cool name. That is why Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe Golden Age is worth featuring. This black and tan model is a special commission for Rolls-Royce Abu Dhabi and it comes in a two-tone Black with Arizona Sun on the exterior, and black leather with tan accents and dark aluminum trims inside the cabin. The interior seems a little too sober frankly, but that exterior is one of the most unique we have ever seen on any Roller ever. The fact that Rolls-Royce Pha...

The latest Bespoke model Rolls-Royce wants to show off, although at this point all of their products are bespoke in at least one way, is this rather special Wraith. The eye-catching Golden Yellow Rolls-Royce Wraith features a very un-Roller kind of color, but we have to say it works. So what we have here with this Golden Yellow Rolls-Royce Wraith is a paint scheme that would normally be found on a Nissan 370Z or a Honda Civic Type R prepared for a local tuning show. The base color is a shiny shade of yellow with golden hues, and it’s complemented with a sort of gunmetal grey roof and pillars and the whole thing is then paired with two-tone brushed and black RR wheels. It’s a combination...

For some reason Rolls-Royce is adamant their clientele are very fond of heading out into the nature and having a nice little picnic. It probably has to do with the old aristocratic times when the rich folk had nothing better to do. At any rate, they just aounced that the exclusive Rolls-Royce Phantom Zenith collection is getting a bespoke picnic hamper. The idea of fitting Rollers with luxury picnic hampers is nothing new of course, but the one fitted to the Rolls-Royce Phantom Zenith models – limited to 50 units based on the Coupe and Drophead models – takes the whole hampering game to the next level. They go so far as calling this set of dishes, glasses, and cutlery collectible items…...

Rolls-Royce puts out a new bespoke, special edition model every other week, and to be frank they are often vulgar, ostentatiously styled cars built to satisfy parvenu’s sense of vanity. This latest one though, the Bespoke Blue Rolls-Royce Dawn, well, it is still that but it is also refreshingly different than anything we have seen before. The Bespoke Blue Rolls-Royce Dawn should have been called after dawn because it is finished in a lovely shade of blue that reminds one of the color of a crisp, trouble-free summer moing. It is complemented with center caps in the same colors and brushed grille, and paired with an interior which is as unique as the exterior, but we’re afraid nowhere nea...

We don’t exactly know why, but we quite like the idea of having two or three copies of the same thing, preferably in different colors. That’s why we found this Porsche 918 triplet interesting, and why we admire this Rolls-Royce Dawn duo here equipped with contrasting Forgiato wheels. That’s what you do when you have twins, isn’t it? You get them different shoes so you can tell them apart. That is what the guys at Exotic Euro Cars of Woodland Hills, Califoia, have done so they can distinguish their pair of black Rolls-Royce Dawn. These cars also come with matching interiors, and although one of them features a red coach line, that really is not enough for an uninterested eye to tell it a...

Porto Cervo resort in Sardinia is a special place for Rolls-Royce as it is the location of their Summer Studio, where they have created some of their most exquisite models. Now they have come up with two more including of a jewel-encrusted Rolls-Royce Dawn and a highly bespoke Wraith. The emerald embellished Rolls-Royce Dawn pays homage to Porto Cervo with an emerald green exterior and seashell and green leather interior, open-pore teak as well as boot floor, and the biggest highlight of all, the precious emeralds and mother of pearl et into white gold and presented on the fascia. This thing seems more fit for an Indian Maharaja or a Persian King, but RR pitches it as ultimate embodimen...

Charles Rolls and Henry Royce probably never envisioned, when they put together Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, that someday their names would be on a navy blue four-seat convertible with an orange interior. But that’s what the company’s Bespoke department does these days, and someone in Abu Dhabi has ordered a Rolls-Royce Dawn in just this configuration. The exterior of this custom Rolls-Royce Dawn is brilliant. The rich shade of blue they’ve picked for it is just amazing, and it goes really well with all the chrome and brushed aluminum parts that ado the body. Granted, the orange coachline is a bit too spicy, but hey, it is only little. Sadly we can’t say the same thing about the interior. It...

It is not often we get to see one of Wald Inteational Black Bison kits outside Japan, especially in America. But Phantom Motorsport of North Hollywood has put together a rather special Wald Rolls-Royce Drophead, proving this tuner is not getting the global attention it deserves. Phantom’s Drophead Phantom features a unique black on black look which adds a nice touch of gangsta to the car’s Royal look and feel. This is what Prince Harry would drive if he was a real palya. Now, we’re not big fans of customizing Rollers, but we do approve of this Wald Rolls-Royce Drophead simply because it looks good. The carbon fiber Black Bison kit on this car does not stand out as something that doesn’...

While we absolutely hate full chrome wraps, what Metro Wrapz has done with this Rolls-Royce Phantom is making us think may be a partial wrap with this material is not such a bad idea after all. We hate to admit it, but this thing looks pretty cool. What Metro Wrapz has done here is apply a healthy dose of their shiniest chrome vinyl to a black Rolls-Royce Phantom, thus creating a two-tone effect that is just showy enough to be interesting without looking ostentatious and ridiculous. The chrome ados the roof, pillars, boet and truck lid as well as the lower parts of the front and rear bumpers and side sills. One must not forget the roll those huge and shiny Forgiato wheels play in giving...

Marking the end of production for the current version of the Phantom Coupe and Drophead Coupe, Rolls-Royce has come up with a new special edition series. Pitched as the ultimate expression of these models, the Rolls-Royce Phantom Zenith Collection is loaded with Bespoke features and has a limited production run. They are making only 50 Rolls-Royce Phantom Zenith Collection models, each one already spoken for and customized and personalized by its “cooisseur customer.” You will still be able to buy one through third party dealers, but you will have pay a healthy premium. It seems to be worth it though, on account of the features these special models come with. As the piacle of luxury and...
