Rolls-Royce revealed a custom-built Phantom Extended car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, creating a vehicle inspired by sailing culture along England's south coast.
The car was made for a single client and will not be produced again. Its blue and white exterior was chosen to resemble the side of a yacht sitting in the water. Inside, more than 1,300 tiny fibre optic lights are arranged across the ceiling in a pattern based on tidal currents near the Isle of Wight.
The designers also added a small personal detail: geographic coordinates are engraved on the air vents. Goodwood House appears on the passenger side, while the Rolls-Royce headquarters location is marked on the driver's side.
