Phantom Nighthawk Collection launched

Rolls-Royce has once again turned to its Bespoke division to create a limited edition. The latest, called Nighthawk, is based on the Phantom Drophead Coupé and it’ll be offered in North America only.

That name recalls Lockheed’s F-117 Nighthawk stealth attack aeroplane and, sure enough, the Phantom features a ‘low profile’ colour scheme. Such a car isn’t likely to ever go unnoticed, though...

Diamond Black Metallic bodywork is complemented by Matt Diamond Black paintwork on the bonnet. A third visual element is provided by the windscreen surround finish, which is meant to mimic radar-absorbent material.

Inside, there’s plenty of carbon fibre trim and the seats are covered in red leather with red piping. To complete the look, the unique instruments are aircraft-inspired.

The Phantom Drophead Coupé Nighthawk Collection is available to order now, but just nine examples are being produced.

Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
