7 Rarest Rolls-Royce Models in the World
The Coachbuilt division of Rolls-Royce, located in Goodwood, UK, has the challenging task of transforming an already rare car into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. As demand for bespoke luxury vehicles rises and the ultra-rich become less tolerant of long waiting periods, this division is witnessing significant expansion.
Rolls-Royce Star of India
India has a long-standing relationship with Rolls-Royce, dating back to the era of the Maharajas. The Star of India, a Rolls-Royce Phantom II commissioned by the Maharaja of Rajkot, is a significant part of this history. In 2025, Rolls-Royce delivered a new Star of India, a bespoke Phantom that retains the original saffron paint scheme. While there are no overt homages to India, this Phantom is a faithful reiteration of the original, featuring a dual-tone orange and white interior.
Rolls-Royce Boat Tail
Rumored to have been commissioned by Beyoncé and Jay-Z, the Boat Tail is inspired by luxury yachts. Its rear end, with handcrafted, open-pore wood veneers, resembles a boat deck from J-class yachts. The oceanic blue paint, layered with shimmering crystals, was hand-picked. The entire roof folds into a cavity at the rear in a butterfly pattern, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail. Only three of these exist in the world.
Rolls-Royce Phantom Goldfinger Edition
This bespoke Phantom draws inspiration from the 1964 James Bond film, Goldfinger. It incorporates subtle references to the movie, including a two-tone black-and-yellow paint finish and an 18-carat gold-plated Spirit of Ecstasy. Hidden compartments reminiscent of spy gadgets, custom embroidery, and a faux tracking device add to its unique charm. This one-of-a-kind Phantom is a must-have for 007 fans with Bond villain levels of wealth.
Rolls-Royce Spectre Lunaflair
The Spectre Lunaflair is a fusion of electric innovation and cosmic-inspired design. As a custom interpretation of Rolls-Royce’s first electric model, it boasts a luminous aesthetic with glistening accents and a radiant exterior finish. The cabin is crafted with refined materials and ambient lighting that captures the serenity of moonlight. The Lunaflair elevates the driving experience with whisper-quiet power and artisanal detail.
Rolls-Royce Sweptail
Based on a Phantom coupé and hand-built over four years, the Sweptail is a modern icon of Coachbuild’s craftsmanship. Described as the automotive equivalent of haute couture, the Sweptail is rumored to have cost around $10 million (Rs 85 crore). Custom-built for a Hong Kong-based real estate tycoon’s son, it features a sweeping rear design, panoramic glass roof, and opulent interior, inspired by classic yachts and vintage Rolls-Royce models.
Rolls-Royce Cullinan Daisy
A one-of-one Black Badge Cullinan Series II, the Daisy was inspired by the owner’s cherished hiking trail in the High Tatras mountains. It features a serene Powder Blue exterior with a hand-painted daisy motif along the coachline. Darkened Black Badge details add striking contrast. Inside, Fleet Blue leather is paired with Daisy Yellow accents, while sandblasted Blackwood veneers display engraved daisy patterns. The Starlight Headliner mirrors constellations such as Ursa Major and Gemini, enhancing the celestial ambiance. Tailored for adventure, it includes custom umbrellas and a hiking-ready Recreation Module.
Rolls-Royce Arcadia Droptail
One of just four exclusive Droptail creations, the Arcadia takes cues from peaceful, natural landscapes. It features a soft white finish and a refined, wood-accented cabin. From the finely stitched leather to the intricately carved woodwork, each element reflects masterful craftsmanship. Its open-top form blends grace with liberation, powered by a smooth V12 engine. Arcadia stands as a symbol of calm sophistication and rarity, representing a bold chapter in the evolution of Rolls-Royce’s bespoke, coachbuilt tradition.
