Rolls-Royce has unveiled its first ever Bespoke Collection offered for the entire family of models. The Suhail Collection is the first collection to be offered on Phantom, Phantom Coupé, Ghost and Wraith models, and is inspired by Suhail, one of the brightest star constellations in the sky.

Suhail and its light is believed to have inspired the 10th Century Arabic mathematician, astronomer and physicist Ibn al-Haitham, whose best known work is the Book of Optics (Kitab al-Manazir). “Ibn al-Haitham was a notable pioneer whose scientific achievements represented a turning point in the history of science. We felt the Suhail constellation was the perfect inspiration for a very special Bespoke collection to celebrate his influence on Eastern and Western science,” said Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

The Suhail Collection includes the Phantom, Phantom Coupé, Ghost and Wraith, all personalized with unique touches such as the moonstone pearl exterior color evoking the colour of the stars at night, complete with the Suhail star emblem and a Turchese Blue coachline inspired by the color of the night sky when Suhail is visible.

The color scheme is continued inside with a combination of Cremé Light leather with Turchese accents, framed by a Navy Blue instrument panel top and carpets. Suhail star emblems are also worked into the marquetry on the Ash Burr wood fascia. Phantom and Wraith models also get a Starlight Headliner, while the Bespoke clock depicts the Suhail Ursa Minor and Major constellation on the clock face.

2014 was an important year for Rolls-Royce Bespoke with many Collection cars being launched including Year of the Horse, Pinnacle Travel, Waterspeed, Metropolitan and Maharajah. In September 2014, nearly every Phantom across the globe, 90 percent of Wraith and 80 percent of Ghost models were commissioned by customers with some element of Bespoke design.
