This Rolls-Royce Phantom One-Off Celebrates Hummingbirds By Using Abalone ShellsRoad & TrackFred SmithTue, September 15, 2026 at 4:34 PM UTCAdd us on GoogleThis Rolls-Royce One-Off Gets Abalone Shell InlaysRolls-RoyceA Rolls-Royce Phantom is already a pretty special car right out of the gate. Buyers who need even more from the full-sized land yacht can go up to the Phantom Extended, of course. But even that massive sedan is not exclusive enough for every ultra-luxury customer. That's where Crewe's one-offs come in— and the latest Phantom Extended to roll out of the company's factory is one of the most unusually detailed one-offs yet.Called the "Phantom Hummingbird," the entire build is themed around that namesake avian. The headlining feature is a set of hummingbird inlays in the car's wooden picnic tables, completed in a 53-piece combination of mother-of-pearl and what Rolls-Royce says is the brand's first-ever use of abalone shell for such a feature. By using two different mollusk-sourced materials, the birds emulate the colors and iridescent effects of a real hummingbird's feathers.Those ultra-detailed birds are complimented by a similar 83-piece mother-of-pearl and abalone shell floral design feature on another wood piece that Rolls-Royce calls the "Rear Waterfall" panel. Bird motifs continue with a hand-painted hummingbird along the usual beltline-defining pinstripe that Rolls-Royce calls a coachline.AdvertisementAdvertisementOutside, the Phantom is painted with a two-tone exterior with a dark red bottom section and a light metallic upper section. The interior is a lighter perforated leather with dark brown piping, accentuating the bright woodwork that makes this particular model special.Photo credit: Rolls-RoycePhoto credit: Rolls-RoycePhoto credit: Rolls-RoycePhoto credit: Rolls-RoyceAdvertisementAdvertisementPhoto credit: Rolls-RoycePhoto credit: Rolls-RoycePhoto credit: Rolls-RoycePhoto credit: Rolls-RoyceAdvertisementAdvertisementPhoto credit: Rolls-RoycePhoto credit: Rolls-RoycePhoto credit: Rolls-RoycePhoto credit: Rolls-RoyceAdvertisementAdvertisementPhoto credit: Rolls-RoycePhoto credit: Rolls-RoycePhoto credit: Rolls-RoyceRolls-Royce has not released pricing for this particular one-off Phantom, but its extended length and custom touches suggest that it was likely exceptionally expensive. Given that the company's new Project Nightingale EV reportedly costs just below $10 million and that the few-off Boat Tail came in at a healthy $28 million, it seems likely that this custom Phantom may have been a seven-figure endeavor.You Might Also LikeIf You Can Only Own One Car, Make It One of TheseThese Are the Most Popular Cars by State
