The Ultimate Expression of Bespoke Luxury
In the world of luxury cars, exclusivity often comes with limited runs and special editions. But Rolls-Royce has gone far beyond that—revealing a true one-of-one creation: the Rolls-Royce Cherry Blossom Phantom. After three years of meticulous craftsmanship, this Phantom emerges as both an automobile and a timeless piece of art, designed to capture the fleeting beauty of Japan’s sakura season.
A Blooming Inspiration
The inspiration behind the Cherry Blossom Phantom comes from hanami—the cherished tradition of viewing cherry blossoms in full bloom. For centuries, sakura has symbolized renewal, beauty, and the impermanence of life. The anonymous client behind this project wanted more than a car; they wanted a lasting tribute to this delicate yet powerful cultural icon. Rolls-Royce responded by creating a Phantom that embodies the spirit of blossoms that never fade.
Exterior: A Pearl White Canvas with Sakura Hues
From the outside, the Cherry Blossom Phantom radiates serenity. The bodywork features a bespoke pearl white finish, subtly infused with blush undertones that shimmer under sunlight—reminiscent of cherry petals caught in the wind. Along the Phantom’s coachline, a hand-painted blossom motif drifts gracefully towards the rear, a detail executed by Rolls-Royce’s master coachline painter.
This understated elegance is proof that true luxury doesn’t shout; it whispers.
Interior: A Cherry Blossom Garden Within
Step inside, and the Phantom transforms into a sanctuary of sakura. Every element feels like a chapter in a poetic narrative:
The Starlight Headliner: Hundreds of fibre-optic lights form a starry night sky, enhanced by hand-embroidered cherry blossom branches, giving the illusion of hanami under moonlight.
The Gallery Dashboard: At the centre lies a breathtaking three-dimensional cherry blossom artwork, each petal hand-painted and sealed under glass to remain in eternal bloom.
Luxury Detailing: The Arctic White leather seats are trimmed with Sakura Pink piping, while subtle blossom motifs are stitched into armrests and inlaid into wood veneers. These quiet flourishes create an atmosphere that’s immersive yet refined.

The Art of Patience
The process of creating the Cherry Blossom Phantom took three years—not because of complexity alone, but because of Rolls-Royce’s unwavering pursuit of perfection. Each stitch, each painted blossom, each fibre-optic constellation was reworked until flawless.
Unlike production models, a bespoke Rolls-Royce Phantom is essentially commissioned art. The timeline is dictated not by deadlines, but by devotion. It’s this rare patience that elevates the Cherry Blossom Phantom from being a luxury car to becoming a cultural heirloom.
Rolls-Royce Bespoke: A Legacy on Wheels
For Rolls-Royce, the Phantom has always been the ultimate blank canvas—a platform for clients to tell their stories through design. The Cherry Blossom Phantom represents the very essence of this philosophy.
It is not simply owned—it is commissioned, like a painting or a sculpture. And in that, Rolls-Royce has delivered what few brands can: permanence in the face of impermanence, beauty preserved in motion.
