New Rolls-Royce Phantom Aviation Coupe

Rolls-Royce introduced 35 new Coupe Aviation Collection models, which feature a suite of exclusive design concepts, color combinations and new materials. The inside of the car is done in wood and metal, which reminds us of a cockpit theme. Upper fascia is in metal, while the lower one in veneered in mahogany. The leather-lined glove compartment includes an embossed Charles Rolls quote: "The power of flight is as a fresh gift from the Creator, the greatest treasure yet given to man."

To round up the aviation theme, collection cars commemorate the S6B aircraft with transmission tunnel in anodized aluminium with exposed torx fixings and swage lines that mimic the oil cooling veins on the S6B fuselage side - same highlights are mimicked on collection car armrests.

All in all, another beautiful creation from the uber luxurious Rolls-Royce.
