a divine creation: the rolls-royce phantom scintilla

一个神圣的创造：劳斯莱斯幻影汽车

In an industry where automotive design often prioritizes utility over art,

Rolls-Royce

stands as a beacon for beauty to match its effortless performance. Dubbed as a ‘Goddess car’, the Phantom Scintilla takes this mantra the next mile, as a masterpiece of engineering and craftsmanship, and limited to a mere ten units. This exclusivity alone makes it a coveted private collection item, but it is the story behind its craftmanship that truly sets the

car

apart.

代表着与其毫不费力的性能相匹配的美丽灯塔。被称为“女神车”，幻影Scintilla采取这一口头禅下一英里，作为一个工程和工艺的杰作，并仅限于十个单位。这种独特性使其成为令人垂涎的私人收藏品，但真正使汽车与众不同的是其工艺背后的故事。

mythology of the spirit of ecstasy 

狂喜之神的神话

Derived from the Latin word for ‘spark’, Scintilla encapsulates the first flash of inspiration that ignited Rolls-Royce Managing Director Claude Johnson’s vision for the marque’s mascot. This traces back to the ancient Nike statue discovered on the island of Paros, also known as ‘The Winged Victory of Samothrace’. The triumphant grace of the Greek Goddess inspired Charles Sykes’ design for the Spirit of Ecstasy, which has proudly adorned the tip of a Rolls-Royce since 1910.

Scintilla源自拉丁语中的“火花”，它代表了劳斯莱斯董事总经理克劳德·约翰逊对该品牌吉祥物的愿景。这可以追溯到在帕罗斯岛上发现的古老的耐克雕像，也被称为“萨莫色雷斯的胜利之翼”。希腊女神的胜利优雅激发了查尔斯·赛克斯的设计灵感，自1910年以来，它一直自豪地装饰在劳斯莱斯的尖端。

The Spirit of Ecstasy sparks a fleeting moment that, though only glimpsed as a Rolls-Royce sails by, leaves a lasting impression. The Phantom Scintilla is a homage to this timeless muse, celebrating the ethereal beauty, grace, and legacy of the marque’s mascot. For the first time ever, the Spirit of Ecstasy on a Rolls-Royce is finished in pure white ceramic on the private collection car. It skillfully emulates the texture of the fabled Parian marble of the Nike statue, evoking the same wonder and influencing every aspect of the car’s design, from its colors to its intricate embroidery.

Eccentric的精神火花一个短暂的时刻，虽然只是瞥见一个劳斯莱斯航行，留下了持久的印象。Phantom Scintilla是向这位永恒的缪斯女神致敬，颂扬品牌吉祥物的空灵之美、优雅和遗产。劳斯莱斯上的Spirit of Ecstasy首次以纯白色陶瓷装饰在私人收藏车上。它巧妙地模仿了耐克雕像传说中的帕罗斯大理石的纹理，唤起了同样的奇迹，并影响了汽车设计的各个方面，从颜色到复杂的刺绣。

The exterior of the car embellishes the Phantom as if an art canvas. A two-tone color represents the Aegean Sea and marble of the Nike statue, transitioning the upper body in Andalusian white to the lower body in Thracian blue. Subtle metallic flakes embedded in the paint mimic the sparkle of sunlight on the water. The graceful exterior is completed with a hand-painted double coachline and wheel pinstripes in Spirit Blue.

汽车的外观将幻影装饰得仿佛一幅艺术画布。双色调的颜色代表爱琴海和耐克雕像的大理石，将安达卢西亚白色的上身过渡到色雷斯蓝色的下身。微妙的金属片嵌入油漆模仿闪闪发光的阳光在水面上。优雅的外观是完成了手绘双coachline和车轮细条纹精神蓝。

Inside, Phantom Scintilla is temple devoted to bespoke artistry. Every surface has been transformed as if a showcase of Rolls-Royce’s level of detail and craftsmanship. The interior design carries the flowing, organic feel of the Nike statue, with upholstery crafted from natural bamboo fibers to add tactility and depth. The skylight headliner, extended more than usual, is all-white with more movement, creating a serene yet dynamic atmosphere.

The use of ceramic extends to surfaces previously untouched, and the upholstery boasts the most extensive density of embroidery ever seen in a Rolls-Royce. With well over a million stitches, the upholstery presented a formidable challenge in creating motion within something static. The coach doors and rear fabric seats alone feature 869,500 stitches, while the door motif is embroidered with 633,000 stitches using the intricate tatami stitch, which applies over six layers of interlaced density and complexity. The door motif combines pastel-colored thread and sparkling lights, illuminating at night and making seem as if glowing from within.
