Rolls-Royce launches limited-edition Phantom Bespoke Collection in the Persian Gulf
Rolls-Royce Phantom Bespoke Collection – Click above for high-res image gallery
While Rolls-Royce prepares to roll out the new downsized Ghost model, in the Middle East demand still soars for the full-size Phantom. But with every sheikh and his cousins driving – or more likely, being driven in – the big Rolls, the automaker has announced a new Bespoke Collection exclusively for the Persian Gulf region.
Enabling wealthy clients to specify all manner of trim and color options beyond the usual range of choices, the Phantom Bespoke Collection will deliver just six special vehicles to customers in the Middle East. Following the gold-finished DHC delivered last year, the first example in the new line – pictured here – is decked out in two-tone Arizona Sun over English White paint, with Creme Light and Saddle Tan leather interior complimented by handmade silk rugs and mother of pearl inlays. So you'd better wipe off your sandals before stepping foot inside, habibi. Check it out in the gallery below.

discrimination I say ... hahahaha .... while the world's financial system in as tailspin, and the US economy melting away into oblivion, the ultra-rich continue on their chosen path ..... GM is(was) bankrupt, and RR is doubling capacity to meet demand.

It's conceivable that these guys are going to be running out of oil in the next 50-60 years. The payback is gong to be a bitch.

its okay once the oil is gone because theyre investing in infastructure now, for example, the citizens of Dubai have over 1 trillion in investments overseas. even American ports are owned by them ahahaha

Yep, this pretty much looks like something they would drive.
I does not matter because they are just going to paint this gold anyway, lol.

Sorry, but if I'm going to spend a whimsically absurd amount of money on a limited edition car, it'd have to be a Veyron Pur Sang or Sang Blue.

Don´t forget to make regular contributions at the pump so that oil tycoons can continue to buy their gold plated phantoms at our expense.

If they were white guys with a computer company or a car company or a soft drink company then you wouldn't be complaining. Just admit it, it pisses you off when anyone other than white males are making a bunch of loot. It's like a burning hatred isn't it? Doesn't it just make you mad? So pissed that you'd probably want to find a reason to go over there and... oppps, never mind.

If you get rich through artificially inflated prices that gets my family closer to poverty, you can be sure I will suport a war, any war.

Also you're trying to make this a race issue when it has nothing to do with it.

Hideous barely covers it. I think the only people who would buy this abomination are certainly the targeted clients. Cheers to the marketers but a definite WTF to the stylists.

quite the contrary my friends ... I am not jealous, nor do I hold anything against those people with more money than they know what to do with .... I count myself in that category too ... I was marveling at the irony and dichotomy in the world. Modern society is beginning to express it self as the imbalanced system it has become.

I would not be shocked of someone brought one of these to Beverly Hills.
