They have a dedicated department that can make any person's dream Rolls-Royce come true, with the uniqueness of being the only one of that model and specification.Its latest creation is a tribute of the nautical kind; the Phantom Regatta is a single commissioned model that takes inspiration from the English South Coast and its accompanying yachting lifestyle.Rolls-RoyceView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articlePhantom RegattaAccording to Rolls-Royce, the specific inspiration for the Phantom Regatta comes from the Solent and the waters stretching all the way to Chichester Harbor, all of which are visible from the automotive mecca that is the Goodwood Estate.AdvertisementAdvertisementFor those who don't know, Rolls-Royce's global HQ and plant are in Goodwood, which makes the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed (FOS) the perfect venue to showcase the Phantom Regatta. Another interesting factoid is that Sir Henry Royce's own residence, called Elmstead, is situated along the coast, just 8 miles away from the brand's current home.Starting off with the striking exterior, the Phantom is finished in a deep maritime tone called Regatta Blue. To break the monotony and add a welcome touch of contrasting color, the lower part of the car is painted English White. The lower white paint is actually applied by hand and pays tribute to the line where a yacht's hull meets the water. The rims are a set of 22-inch polished alloys that are a homage to the polished steel winches of a racing yacht.Rolls-RoyceView the 6 images of this gallery on the original articleMore Maritime TouchesThe exterior influences and colorway also extend inwards into the Phantom's cabin. Rolls-Royce explains it as "deep blue water below, with white canvas above." The front part of the cabin is covered in Navy Blue leather, while the rear looks resplendent in Grace White. The seats, door piping, and steering wheel are a mix of both colors. Some wooden touches like the Piano Milori paired with Open Pore Royal Walnut are found on the rear doors and picnic tables.AdvertisementAdvertisementAs if those weren't enough eye candy, the interior of the Phantom Regatta has a hand-painted artwork called Watercolour. It was done by the in-house artist on an open-pore wooden substrate using specially mixed colors. It wouldn't be complete without any interior lights, and, like most special Phantoms, the Regatta comes with 1,307 hand-placed fiber-optic 'stars' and is inspired by the swirling tidal currents around the Isle of Wight.Rolls-RoyceThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Jul 4, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
