Simply Abu Dhabi VI

1 7 8 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I In 2011 for example, Rolls-Royce designed a car for an Abu Dhabi customer that incorporated an intricate and beautiful falcon motif within the headrests. Taking 40 hours of embroidery and using 11 different threads, the design featured 21,000 stitches. Perhaps one of the most delightful and popular of Rolls-Royce bespoke features is the starlight headliner, which integrates more than 1,600 tiny fibre optic lights which are hand-woven into the leather roof lining to create a beautiful starry sky within a Rolls-Royce Phantom Saloon or Phantom Coupé. The name Rolls-Royce is oncemore synonymous with excellence, built on the finest principles of Sir Henry Royce, realised through his partnership with Charles Rolls. Hand-built Phantom and Ghost cars combine the spirit of their illustrious forebears with ground-breaking technology and visionary engineering techniques, but with hand-craftsmanship and attention to detail at the core of every car’s promise to its owner. Today, visitors to the newHome of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in Goodwood, West SussexarestillgreetedbySirHenryRoyce’smemorablewords:“StriveforPerfection in Everything You Do”. But a second, famous maxim also draws attention: “Take the best that exists andmake it better; when it does not exist design it”. R O L L S R O Y C E - T H E P H A N T OM S E R I E S I I
