ROLLS-ROYCE: ONE OF ONE

For some luxury automobiles, the journey to classic status may take decades. Yet for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, their exclusivity and limited edition, numbered builds elevate them to classic status the moment they leave the gates at Goodwood. To celebrate some of these mesmerising motoring masterpieces, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Middle East & Africa curated the largest gathering of Rolls-Royce Private Collection Cars in the manufacturer’s history, bringing together the cars’ owners and selected VVIPs for a memorable two-day event.

Held at Dubai’s exclusive One&Only Royal Mirage, the invite-only ‘Future Classics’ gathering featured some of the rarest and most sought-after Rolls-Royce Motor Cars ever produced. The bespoke models on display included the Phantom Centenary (the very first collection car ever delivered to the Middle East), to the Phantom Zenith Coupé, one of the last Phantom’s from the first generation.

Each motor car came with a unique story, from celebrating a Landspeed Record (Black Badge Wraith Landspeed) to being inspired by the Kármán Line – the mysterious invisible boundary 62 miles above the Earth’s surface, where outer space begins (Black Badge Cullinan ‘Blue Shadow’).

Invitation-only: The event offered distinguished guests the opportunity to discover the marque’s Private Collection Cars, the very definition of Bespoke.

César Habib, Regional Director Middle East & Africa, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, concludes: “Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has brought to life an incredible array of motoring masterpieces. The Rolls-Royce ‘Future Classics’ celebration allowed a number of the marque’s works of art from the last two decades to take centre stage. Imbued with unequalled levels of creativity and craft it was both a privilege and an honour to showcase some of the exceptional Private Collection Cars in Dubai, transporting audiences through time and into a realm of unequalled imagination and luxury.”
