See The Rolls-Royce Phantom Scintilla From Every Angle
According to Rolls-Royce, the brand’s managing director Claude Johnson commissioned sculptor and illustrator Charles Sykes to design an emblem for the brand back in 1910. Johnson was particularly enthralled with a Greek sculpture called “The Winged Victory of Samothrace”, which dates back to 190 BCE. The figure depicts an angelic deity on its descent from the heavens, and was on display at the Louvre in Paris. Sykes didn’t think the statue fit the personality of the Silver Ghosts of that period, opting instead to pen a more elegant shape. The resulting design would go on to become the Spirit of Ecstacy, which has been the brand’s mascot ever since.
In celebration of the brand's 120th anniversary, Rolls has released a limited run of cars inspired by that initial art concept. Known as the Phantom Scintilla Private Collection, only 10 units are slated for production. Take a look around the stunning limited production model with our photo gallery down below.
