This is the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe Ghawwass Bespoke Edition, the latest car to join the long and distinguished line of Rolls-Royce limited editions that have arrived over the years. With that in mind, we’ll allow you one guess as to what market this limited edition is destined for.
If you said the Middle East, which is almost always the answer when talking about ultra-limited, special editions of the world’s finest luxury and sports cars, then give yourself a pat on the back. As for that name, “Ghawwass” is the Arabic word for diver, and attaching it to the Phantom Coupe is meant to celebrate “the traditional method of collecting pearls from the Bahrain pearl banks,” according to Rolls-Royce’s Facebook page, where these pictures were posted.
Considering its nautical namesake, the color scheme of the Phantom Ghawwass makes a lot of sense, with a Turchese Blue exterior and a tan and Turchese interior that brings to mind bright blue water and sand. The veneers are pearl - although we can’t see them in this photoset - befitting the car’s inspiration, while a Dhow, a traditional Arabic sailboat, can be found in the coachline and stitched into the headrests.
Not surprisingly, there’s no mention as to what the Phantom Coupe Ghawwass will cost over the standard car, but unless you have the title of “Sheikh” before your name, it probably won’t matter.Rolls-Royce reveals Ghawwass edition Phantom Coupe originally appeared on Autoblog on Wed, 16 Oct 2013 16:01:00 EST.
