Rolls-Royce created Bespoke, a customizing division
specializing in creating one-off or limited-edition iterations of just about
any model available in the brand’s lineup. The latest unique model to come from
Bespoke is the Phantom Coupe Al-Adiyat, which is inspired by "the noise
made by a powerful horse when its hooves strike stone."
This Bespoke-crafted Phantom Coupe
retains its standard exterior features, with only the exclusive paint and the
coachline making it stand out from regular Phantom Coupes. The massive two-door
is finished in a bright shade of red, complemented by a thin, white coachline,
the silver hood, and the silver trim around the windows. The silver hood and
trim aren’t part of the package and can be had on any stock Rolls, but the
bright silver goes well with the Arrest Me Red-like hue. A white motif on the
lower trunk lid rounds off the Al-Adiyat.
Inside, Rolls-Royce used red and white
leather to dress everything from the seats and the center console to the
dashboard and the door panels. A darker shade of red was used for the carpets,
while the dark wood inserts in the dashboard features white motifs. The door
armrests are also adorned by white motifs, these being identical to the one on
the trunk lid. A horse-themed motif is embroidered in the front head rests.
Under the hood of the Al-Adiyat lurnks the same
6.75-liter V-12 that has been motivating the Phantom Coupe since its inception
in 2008. Updated in for the 2013 model year, the engine produces 453 horsepower
at 5,350 rpm and 531 pound-feet of torque from 1,000 rpm, and uses an
eight-speed, ZF automatic transmission to send it to the wheels. The 60-mph
sprint comes in 5.7 seconds, which is downright impressive for a vehicle of
this size, while top speed is 155 mph.
Being a one-off, this Phantom Coupe is likely
already accounted for, but, the owner should paid
at least US$ 500,000 to take it home. The standard coupe retails from around US$ 435,000.
