Again illustrating where the powerhouse of the automotive industry is located, Rolls-Royce has unveiled its ‘Year Of The Dragon’ bespoke collection.
“Inspired by the legendary creature that is revered in China, ‘The Year Of The Dragon Collection’ has been created to celebrate the ultimate symbol of power, prosperity and good fortune,” Rolls-Royce said.
Each Rolls Royce Phantom or Phantom extended wheelbase kitted with the ‘Year Of The Draghon’ collection scores a gold-painted dragon hand-painted on the side, the design inspired by the Forbidden City in Beijing.
Inside the leather of every headrest gets an embroidered dragon using a combination of four thread colours – Tan, Golden Sand, Black and White. As well, the passenger panel gains the Phantom model name and dragon design hand inlaid for each car.
Customers select their own individual interior colours and Rolls-Royce supplies each car with two hand-stitched cushions for the rear seat with double R-R logos and piping to match the chosen colour. Customers also select modern or traditional marquetry which is laser-cut and then hand-assembled to match their veneer choice.
And the four door sills are highlighted by exclusive illuminated treadplates with ‘Year Of The Dragon 2012’ in LED lighting.
“The Bespoke Team elegantly captures the imagination with this Year Of The Dragon Collection, celebrating the turning of a New Year of prosperity and good fortune with this unique creative offering,” revealed Torsten Muller-Otvos, CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
