Rolls-Royce Celebrates Sixty Years of Goldfinger with a Bespoke Phantom Extended Masterpiece
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has unveiled a stunning one-of-a-kind Phantom Extended to mark the sixtieth anniversary of Goldfinger, the iconic James Bond film. The 2024 Phantom Goldfinger is a unique tribute that echoes the iconic luxury and mystique of the 1964 film, weaving in intricate design elements inspired by Auric Goldfinger’s Phantom III Sedanca de Ville. This commemorative model not only celebrates the film’s legacy but also showcases Rolls-Royce’s commitment to bespoke luxury, with every detail crafted meticulously to evoke the essence of the film’s 1937 Phantom III.
Exterior: A Nod to the Iconic Goldfinger Spirit
The exterior of this remarkable Phantom Goldfinger is painted in an exclusive shade, matching the original Phantom III's vibrant yellow. The custom “long-side” two-tone design complements the car’s bold black accents, creating an unmistakable visual that recalls the character of Goldfinger himself. Iconic 21-inch disc wheels, silver ‘floating’ hubcaps, and a Spirit of Ecstasy figurine uniquely finished in gold and silver complete the design. The Spirit of Ecstasy figurine, made from solid silver and plated with 18-carat gold, is inspired by Goldfinger's unique blend of wealth and secrecy, reflecting the film's notorious gold-smuggling plot.
Interior: A Showcase of Hidden Luxury and Elegance
The 2024 Phantom Goldfinger's interior incorporates 18- and 24-carat gold inlays, creating a space that feels as timeless as it is opulent. At the center of this luxurious design lies a hidden vault in the console, holding an illuminated, solid 18-carat gold bar shaped to resemble a miniature Phantom. Other thoughtful touches include gold-lined glovebox interiors inscribed with Goldfinger’s famous line, “This is Gold, Mr. Bond,” as well as gold accents on the air vents, speaker frets, and treadplates. Rolls-Royce even added a custom vehicle identification number ending in "007" to honor the 007 franchise and its legacy.
The Furka Pass Gallery: An Artistic Centerpiece
A true highlight of this bespoke vehicle is the gallery that spans the entire front dashboard, celebrating the film's iconic Furka Pass scene. This masterpiece, crafted from darkened stainless steel with engravings exposing bright metal beneath, is a three-dimensional map of the Furka Pass where Bond trails Goldfinger in the Swiss Alps. The clock in the center of the gallery is also styled after the gun barrel motif seen at the start of every Bond film, making this one of the most iconic Phantom interiors to date.
Starlight Headliner and Picnic Table Inlays
Phantom Goldfinger’s Starlight Headliner adds a celestial touch, reflecting the exact constellations over the Furka Pass during the 1964 film's last filming day, with a blend of gold-tinted stars and shooting stars placed by hand. Adding a touch of whimsy, the picnic tables are inlaid with a gold-lined map of Fort Knox, paying homage to Goldfinger's infamous “Operation Grand Slam” plot, where he planned to contaminate the United States’ gold reserves.
Exquisite Details: A Gold Putter and 007 Projector
Rolls-Royce took exceptional care to incorporate the film's signature moments into Phantom Goldfinger. A gold-plated golf putter, inspired by the one Goldfinger wielded in the film, is mounted under the boot lid, complete with an “AG” monogram, a subtle nod to Goldfinger’s love for gold. A custom projector in the luggage compartment even projects the iconic “007” logo onto the floor, a thrilling touch that evokes Bond’s espionage skills. A nod to Goldfinger’s colorful personality, the rear-door umbrellas are customized in red, blue, green, and yellow.
An Iconic Car for a True Collector
The one-of-a-kind Phantom Goldfinger is a testament to Rolls-Royce’s Bespoke Collective, blending craftsmanship, innovation, and timeless design. This luxury car pays homage not only to the 1964 film Goldfinger but also to Rolls-Royce’s tradition of exclusivity and elegance, making it a true collector's piece.
