Yahoo News Rolls-Royce Ghost Prism Is a Grand Sedan Designed to Appeal to Fashionistas
Rolls-Royce has introduced the Ghost Prism, a special edition meant to celebrate the world of fashion and contemporary design.
While there is still plenty of room for customization, each Prism gets a painted coachline in one of four colors.
Only 120 examples are being built, with 2024 marking Rolls-Royce's 120th anniversary.
Rolls-Royce's business is built on special editions, with the British boutique offering a seemingly endless array of customization options—from paint to interior fabric and even art embedded in the dashboard—for its wealthy clientele. Rolls-Royce say its customer base includes an abundance of fashionistas and design experts, prompting a new special variant. The Rolls-Royce Ghost Prism is said to be "inspired by the world of contemporary design," and only 120 units will be built to honor the company's 120th anniversary.
While this limited-production Ghost isn't the first car to be named after a piece of dazzling light-refracting glass, it is vastly more opulent than the Corolla-based Geo Prizm of the 1990s. While the Ghost Prism's exterior color will be left up to the whims of each buyer, four accent hues are available: Phoenix Red, Turchese, Mandarin, and Forge Yellow. The example presented by Rolls-Royce is painted Gunmetal Grey, with Phoenix Red applied to the lower bumper trim, brake calipers, and painted coachline that runs along the sedan's shoulder. The accent color also appears inside, with Rolls-Royce's now-famous Starlight headliner featuring 1040 colored stars.
For a subtler look, Rolls-Royce swaps the Ghost Prism's chrome grille and rear brightwork for trim in a smoky finish called Burnout, which is hand-produced with four layers of paint. The front bumper and side window trim comes in a gloss-black look. Rolls-Royce is leaving the options for the cabin open-ended, but it noted that the early Prism builds utilize a "light and vibrant palette" to contrast the darkened exterior.
With only 120 examples being built, we are sure that each Ghost Prism will cost a pretty penny. The Ghost typically starts at $354,750, but we imagine these limited-edition models will ring in quite a bit higher.
