After 13 years on the market, the seventh-generation Rolls-Royce Phantom was discontinued at the end of 2016 as the British firm began testing the upcoming model built on a brand-new architecture. To celebrate the end of the line for the Phantom VII, Rolls-Royce built a unique Final Edition model.

"This very last seventh generation Phantom signals the end of the first successful chapter in the renaissance of Rolls-Royce under new custodianship and the establishment of a true global center of luxury excellence in West Sussex, England," the luxury carmaker said about the Final Edition, which was commissioned by an unnamed Rolls-Royce collector.

Inspired by 1930s ocean liners, the Phantom VII Final Edition was designed by the Bespoke division and features numerous unique elements inside and out. Although it doesn't stand out compared to other special-edition models outside the usual unique interior, it's a fitting farewell for the limousine that heralded the modern renaissance of Rolls-Royce.

The Phantom VII Final Edition sets the stage for the introduction of Phantom VIII, underpinned by an all-new aluminum platform. The new sedan could break cover by the end of 2017 and you can find out more about it here. Meanwhile, let's have a closer look at the Final Edition below.

What makes the Rolls Royce Phantom VII Final Edition special

Much like all special-edition Rolls-Royce models, the Phantom VII Final Edition isn't exactly special on the outside. Granted, it has a unique twin coachline with ocean liner motifs on the front fenders and a solid silver "Spirit of Ecstasy" emblem, but the Blue Velvet color and the pinstripe tires are options you can order from the factory any day of the week. But hey, I'm not trying to say that this massive sedan, which also has an extended wheelbase, is dull. On the contrary, the dark blue color, the white coachline, and the high sheen of the chrome elements make it a Rolls-Royce that the folks over at Goodwood can be proud of.

As usual, the Brits paid more attention to the limousine's interior. Designed to mimic a 1930s ocean liner, the cabin sports a nautical theme with outstanding details all over the place. The Powder Blue leather is extremely light in color, with the dark inserts and genuine wood elements making it seem almost white. The wood on the upper door panels and dashboard also have wavy, nautical motifs, while the tone-on-tone embroidery evokes the movement of the sea.

The clocks, a common Rolls-Royce feature, seen in both the front cabin and the partition wall have been designed to echo the style of the radio clocks that adorned big ocean liners in the early 20th century. A custom bezel expressing 24 time zones – including London, Paris, Los Angeles, Denver, and Hawaii – adorns the main clock in the dash. Reminiscent of H.G. Wells time machine, it allows the owner to rotate it in either direction depending on where they find themselves in the world.

Although some Bespoke models have received mild output updates recently, there's no word whether this specific model uses the standard drivetrain or benefits from a bit of extra oomph. Either way, the standard drivetrain found in the Phantom includes the tried-and-true, 6.75-liter V-12 rated at 453 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque. All that oomph travels to the wheels through a ZF-sourced, eight-speed automatic transmission, enabling the four-door to hit 60 mph from a standing start in a little over six seconds. Top speed is estimated at 155 mph, an impressive figure for vehicles that tip the scales at more than 5,500 pounds.

Pricing information is not available and it’s likely to remain like that, but it’s safe to assume that a unique vehicle like this costs well in excess of $600,000.
