Rolls-Royce just pulled off the classiest fan tribute in cinema history. To celebrate 100 years of the Phantom, they unveiled Phantom Goldfinger—a one-off creation honoring the 1964 James Bond film where the villain, Auric Goldfinger, had a thing for both global domination and a very shiny 1937 Phantom III.
Making its public debut at Italy’s ultra-fancy Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, the Phantom Goldfinger doesn’t just whisper luxury—it glistens with it. We’re talking 24-carat gold detailing, nods to Bond villains, and more cinematic Easter eggs than a Daniel Craig Blu-ray box set. It’s based on the Phantom Extended, meaning it’s longer, even more absurdly luxurious, and likely able to house a small MI6 branch in the back seat.
In true Rolls-Royce form, the Goldfinger edition isn’t just about looks. Under the hood is the same glorious V12 found in the standard Phantom Extended, delivering a butter-smooth ride while burning fuel at a rate of around 15.9 liters per 100 km (about 17.7 mpg) with emissions hovering between 348–362 g/km.
It is not clear how much this one-of-one commission costs, but it is safe to say the sticker should be nothing short of extraordinary. Translation: not the salary an MI6 agent can afford.
