Rolls-Royce, the epitome of luxury and automotive craftsmanship, has once again outdone itself with a one-off Phantom that pays homage to the picturesque Italian fishing villages along the Mediterranean coast. This unique creation marries the timeless elegance of a Rolls-Royce with the rustic charm of Italian coastal life, resulting in a car that's as much a work of art as it is a mode of transportation. From the intricate details of a starlight headliner map of Italy to the subtle appearance of bunches of grapes, this bespoke Phantom is a testament to the brand's dedication to creating one-of-a-kind automotive masterpieces.

The starlight headliner is one of the defining features of a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and in this one-off creation, it takes on a new level of artistry. Instead of the usual celestial motif, the headliner now displays a meticulously crafted map of Italy. This map not only serves as a geographical reference but also as an artistic representation of the inspiration behind the car. As you sit in the Phantom, you can gaze up at the stars and trace the outline of Italy, a country known for its rich culture, history, and breathtaking landscapes.

The exterior of the one-off Phantom mirrors the quaint charm of Italian fishing villages. The car's color palette, consisting of a gentle combination of blues and whites, reflects the colors of the Mediterranean Sea and the whitewashed buildings that line the Italian coastline. The unique coachline design, inspired by fishing nets, further connects the car to its Italian coastal muse. It's a stunning embodiment of the serene beauty found in these picturesque villages.

Stepping inside the Rolls-Royce Phantom, you're greeted by an interior that seamlessly blends opulence with Italian coastal inspiration. The upholstery features a soft, textured pattern reminiscent of fishing nets. The bunches of grapes, subtly incorporated into the trim, provide an elegant contrast to the muted tones of the interior. The attention to detail is second to none, with every element carefully curated to evoke the essence of Italian coastal life.

The Drive

While the exterior and interior designs are enough to make anyone fall in love with this one-off Phantom, it's important not to forget that this is still a Rolls-Royce, known for its exceptional performance and driving experience. The car is powered by a refined V12 engine that effortlessly glides down the road, providing the ultimate in comfort and power.

The one-off Rolls-Royce Phantom inspired by Italian fishing villages is a testament to the brand's dedication to pushing the boundaries of automotive artistry. It seamlessly marries the world of luxury automobiles with the rustic charm of coastal Italy, creating a car that's not just a mode of transportation but a work of art in motion. From the starlight headliner map of Italy to the bunches of grapes adorning the interior and exterior, every detail tells a story of inspiration and craftsmanship. This bespoke Phantom stands as a testament to the timeless appeal of both Rolls-Royce and the Italian coastline, where beauty, luxury, and tradition converge in perfect harmony.

2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1: The Fastest, Most Powerful Corvette Ever

Chevrolet has unleashed the unthinkable in the Corvette ZR1. The King of the Hill returns with the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer, mind-bending specs, and iconic design to challenge the world’s best supercars in both coupe and convertible variants.

• Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7.

• The LT7 engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft (1123 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm, per SAE guidelines — the most power ever from a factory Corvette and the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.

• Corvette ZR1 boasts a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 mph (346 Kph) on the racetrack and will dispatch the quarter mile with a GM-estimated sub-10-second time1.

• Purposeful carbon fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds (544 Kg) of downforce at top speed.

• ZR1 revives one of the most iconic styles in Corvette history: the split rear window.

“The team that revolutionized Corvette with a mid-engine architecture took on another challenge: take ZR1 to the next level,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Corvette ZR1 is about pushing the envelope with raw power and cutting-edge innovation. From Stingray, to Z06, E-Ray, and now ZR1, the Corvette family continues to elevate with each new iteration — and challenge the best in the world.”

The Street-Legal Red Bull RB17 Hypercar

The automotive world is abuzz with the announcement that Lanzante, the renowned vehicle specialist known for transforming track-focused machines into road-going marvels, is set to convert the Red Bull RB17 hypercar into a street-legal version. This ambitious project aims to bring Adrian Newey’s V-10 beast from the racetrack to the public roads, and while the challenge is daunting, Lanzante's track record suggests they are up for it. The Red Bull RB17, designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and performance. The track-only version of the hypercar weighs a mere 1,984 pounds, making it lighter than a Mazda MX-5 Miata ND. Yet, despite its featherweight design, it boasts a staggering 1,200 horsepower. This immense power allows it to lap Silverstone a second quicker than a Formula 1 car, according to recent simulations.
