Inspired by a 65 year old racing circuit in United Kingdom, Rolls Royce has created the Bespoke Chicane Phantom Coupe`. Goodwood motor circuit started as a part of an airfield during World War II. In 1948 it Goodwood became a meeting point for racing enthusiasts.
Honouring the spirit of racing, Rolls Royce has used carbon fibre as the form factor for interiors. Most racing cars are made of carbon fibre as it is light and tough.
This modern-day theme adds a bit of thrill to the interiors with chequered flag motif stitched to the red seats. The interiors are very unlike a Rolls Royce, not made of finished wood work.
The exteriors are coloured in gunmetal paint matched with matte black on the bonnet and windscreen.
Name of the car is carved on a metal plaque with a track layout of the 2.4 mile Goodwood racing track. This plaque is placed in the glove compartment, right where an important map should be.
The Phantom Coupe is the most suitable range of cars from Rolls Royce aimed at fulfilling driving pleasures. This car was commissioned by a Rolls Royce dealer from Dubai.
