Rolls-Royce Unveils One-of-a-Kind "Goldfinger"-Inspired Phantom<br><br>Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has introduced a unique Phantom Extended model inspired by the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger. This masterpiece, crafted as a singular model, pays homage to the iconic 1937 Phantom III Sedanca de Ville driven by villain Auric Goldfinger in the film.<br><br>The exterior is painted in the same yellow as the original 1937 vehicle, featuring a unique two-tone design with black encircling the car in a continuous graphic accent. The car sits on 21-inch black wheels with silver “floating” hubcaps, resembling the original’s wheels.<br><br>The Spirit of Ecstasy figure on the hood has been specially treated to hint at the film’s plot, showing golden hints beneath a silver finish, alluding to Goldfinger’s gold smuggling. Since gold can’t be silver-plated, the Spirit is made of silver and carefully layered with 18-carat gold.<br><br>Inside, refined film details abound. The center console hides an illuminated 18-carat gold Phantom "Speedform" model, while the glove compartment lid is engraved with Goldfinger’s iconic line: “This is gold, Mr. Bond. All my life, I’ve been in love with its color, its brilliance, its divine heaviness.”<br><br>Air vents and buttons are gold-finished, as are the speaker grilles, adorned with the film title. The door sills, resembling the film’s gold bars, are gilded with text from the original film font. Even the VIN plate is finished in 24-carat gold, ending in “007.”<br><br>A full-width dashboard “Gallery” displays a 3D map of Switzerland’s Furka Pass, where Bond pursued Goldfinger. This stainless steel artwork is darkened with etched contours and elevation details, revealing lighter metal beneath. The Furka Pass outline is laser-cut, exposing a gold surface below.<br><br>The headliner depicts the stars as seen above the Furka Pass on July 11, 1964—the night of the film’s first shooting day. A total of 719 “stars” glow in a soft golden tone, complemented by eight “shooting stars.”<br><br>Picnic tables mounted to the rear seatbacks are adorned with a 22-carat gold-inlaid map of Fort Knox—the target of Goldfinger’s heist. Crafting the intricate map took six months and involved three prototypes.<br><br>The trunk includes a gilded golf putter reminiscent of the one Goldfinger used in his first encounter with Bond. The luggage compartment also features a projection of the 007 logo, a nod to Bond’s tracking device.<br><br>Umbrellas, stowed in the rear doors, are painted in the red, blue, green, and yellow colors featured in the film. The car’s license plate reads “AU 1,” a tribute to the chemical symbol for gold.
