The car with the longest name ever, is a tribute to the speed records on water of the Brit Sir Malcolm Campbell.

The coat colour is the most eye-catching detail. The eye-catching color is “Maggiore Blue” and is inspired by the color scheme of the Bluebird, the recordboot that Sir Malcolm Campbell his speed records on water obtained.

The special Phantom Drophead Coupe is today to a select audience shown in the building of the Bluebird Motor Company, then leave the car to the Concours d’elegance of the Villa d’este to the world shown to be. The paint is in nine layers are applied and for the first time in the history of Rolls Royce extended to the engine. Also in the wheels is the coat colour for the first time. The hand-painted line on the carriage has a Bluebird motif and the cost of the decorator of the Rolls-Royce a half-day to by hand to convert.

The traditional wood-lined rear panel of the Drophead Coupé is void: the teak has made space for brushed steel. Each panel is handgeklopt (70 hours per panel), and handgeborsteld (10 hours per panel) in order to obtain the desired result. Also in the interior, we see again details in Maggiore Blue, the leather is performed in the color, Windchill Grey.

The finest detail is perhaps the “Power Reserve” indicator. This meter goes back to yellow and eventually to blue zone. Campbell’s original K3 Bluebird boat also had a meter and at optimal engine performance, this gauge “into the blue”.
