Phantom Limelight Collection revealed

Rolls-Royce has launched another limited edition created by its Bespoke department. The Limelight Collection, which can be based on either the Phantom or Phantom Extended Wheelbase, “has been conceived for that select group of people who spend their lives in the public eye and on the world stage”.

Gala Blue paintwork, a hand-painted coachline and unique nine-spoke alloy wheels provide a sophisticated and elegant exterior look. However, the Limelight Collection’s key distinguishing features are in the rear cabin.

Designed according to the maxim of ‘Prepare, Relax, Arrive’, those in the rear sit on specially-made reclining seats that incorporate calf and foot rests. Within easy reach are custom-built rear-door panniers. Offered in Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s versions, these are intended to hold personal possessions such as watches, jewellery and fragrance bottles.

Buyers will have a choice of two interior colour schemes. The Dark option predominantly uses Navy Blue leather with a Seashell contrast, while the Light alternative reverses those shades. Both come with a mixture of Smoked Chestnut and Piano Seashell wooden veneer trim.

The Phantom Limelight Collection is available globally, but only 25 examples are going to be produced.

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
