00:00This unique Rolls-Royce Phantom Goldfinger incorporates some of the most elaborate and
00:11expertly crafted elements ever developed for a one-off car in the Marks' long history.
00:19Rolls-Royce's engineers and designers have painstakingly worked on a variety of special
00:24features to creatively incorporate the essence of the film.
00:30The inspiration comes directly from the villain Uric Goldfinger and his 1937 Phantom 3.
00:36And every detail of this Phantom evokes scenes and symbolism from the film.
00:43One particularly impressive detail in the interior of the Phantom Goldfinger is a solid 18-karat
00:48gold bar in the shape of a stylized speedform, which sits enthroned in the illuminated center
00:53console.
00:54This console has been specially designed to house the elaborately crafted gold piece.
01:01It is joined by exquisite picnic tables inlaid in 22-karat gold depicting a fictional map of
01:07the Ford Knox, the famous target that Goldfinger sets his sights on in his plan, Operation Grand
01:12Slam.
01:12Another handcrafted feature is the so-called gallery across the entire dashboard, which
01:21shows a three-dimensional map of the legendary Vorker Pass and depicts the course and contour
01:26lines of the mountain pass embedded in the steel.
01:32The Vorker Pass, the setting for a famous scene between Bond and Goldfinger, is honored in a
01:37particularly artistic way in this vehicle.
01:42The stainless steel used has been darkened using a process called physical vapor deposition
01:46and coated with gold layers that make the contour lines visible in relief.
01:54Another highlight in the interior is the so-called starlight headliner, which recreates the sky
01:58above the Vorker Pass on the 11th of July, 1964, the last day of filming for this famous
02:04film scene.
02:08719 shining stars have been painstakingly handcrafted into the headliner, including eight shooting
02:14stars in a delicate gold tone, creating a particularly atmospheric experience for the passengers.
02:21The paneling of the tables is not the only element that has been finished in gold.
02:28All air vents and controls are finished in gold, and even the speaker covers are engraved with
02:33the film title in the original 1964 font.
02:41The vehicle's door sills are also a visual highlight.
02:45Their shape is reminiscent of gold bars and is embossed in the same 60-year-old font.
02:51The exterior of the Phantom Goldfinger also remains true to its source of inspiration.
02:58The paintwork is an exact replica of the gold hue of the original Fun 3 Sidonka DeVille,
03:03and the vehicle shines in an elegant two-tone design that emphasizes the generous body of the vehicle.
03:11The 22-inch disc wheels in black and silver finish pick up on the color scheme of the original car
03:16and are equipped with floating tire caps that always remain upright while driving.
03:20Rolls-Royce has also thought of the famous spirit of ecstasy at the front of the vehicle
03:27and reworked it in the style of the film's gold smuggling theme.
03:32The figure has been given a subtle golden sheen by means of a special coating,
03:36in which a solid silver statue has been refined with 18-karat gold.
03:40This reveals a golden surface, which is a homage to Goldfinger's illegal business practices.
03:50A special reference to an iconic film scene is hidden in the luggage compartment.
03:55A gold-plated golf club is attached here,
03:58reflecting Goldfinger's love of the game and his first encounter with Bourne.
04:01The club's handle even bears the initials A.G., a reference to the film's antagonist.
04:10As a loving detail for fans of the series,
04:13the Phantom Goldfinger has been equipped with Harald Kane umbrellas,
04:16which are reminiscent of the parasol in the film and are designed in blue, red, yellow and green.
04:23These umbrellas fit perfectly into the holders of the rear doors
04:26and create a particularly individual look that reinterprets the cinematic element.
04:31Finally, the license plate AU1 should be mentioned,
04:35which was attached to the Phantom 3 in the film and also adorns this vehicle.
04:39A reference to the chemical symbol for gold.
04:43This magnificent piece was handed over to a collector in England
04:46and will certainly be considered one of the most valuable vehicles in his collection.
04:53Rolls-Royce has once again achieved a whole new level of personalization
04:57and brought unmistakable craftsmanship and creativity to this vehicle.
