Rolls Royce builds limited edition ‘Peony’ Phantom - 08-24-2008, 01:07 PM



Due to popular demand, Rolls Royce has commissioned a new special edition Phantom saloon under its official ‘Bespoke Programme’ that has been designed specifically for United Arab Emirates customers. The limited edition model is called the ‘Peony’ and it features a two-tone exterior of Pearl Blue with a contrasting Moonstone Pearl Blue and Seashell interior.

The ‘Peony’ flower design is an ancient oriental motif that represents royalty, wealth and distinction. The motif, in traditional blue and yellow, is used throughout the vehicle, featuring as an exterior logo along with interior wood trim inlay and oriental art door capping. Customised tread plates also include the logo emblazoned with the words “Peony motif, exclusive Bespoke Phantom”. Customers also receive a special perfume developed by Emirati perfume company HIND.
The Middle East has been a major driver of the ‘Rolls-Royce Bespoke Program’ and currently claims the highest volume of requests for the custom cars. The program is a special service that allows customers to change virtually every tactile facet of the car, whether it is a thicker steering wheel or a completely customized cabin.
Working in a closed off area of the Goodwood assembly line, the Bespoke team even go so far as to develop their own paints, materials and mechanical modifications. The mechanical package of the Peony, however, has been left untouched, meaning power comes from the familiar 6.75L V12 engine. Peak output stands at 453hp (338kW) and 530lb-ft (720Nm) of torque.
The Peony now joins the special one-off golden Rolls Royce Drophed Coupe, which was built for an individual, also from the UAE.

Not at all. With big cars torque matter more than horse power and in this case 720nm is well adequate. This is a Phantom so you're not going to be racing with the pedal down trying to race an M3 from 0-200km/h.

So why not a Diesel? A 6.75 V12 Diesel with 450hp would have more than 1000Nm. Besides that, the Bentley Arnage T has 500hp and 1000nm, the Phantom natural competition

For one, Diesel engines are still way too noisy. Maybe if they can make diesel engines much more silent and decrease emissions, it could be more suitable.

^ True but it came along way man,the diesels in S class are already superb and no noise at all inside the cabin.So i guess in that ultra premium segment an extra effort may be done to silent the engine like application of pads or sound isolating materials around the engine
