The interior incorporates more subtle nods to the Goldfinger film, such as the hand-drawn artwork on the Phantom’s dashboard ‘Gallery’. It’s a highly detailed topographical map of the Furka Pass in Switzerland, where Goldfinger is pursued by 007 in his Aston Martin DB5, and Rolls-Royce says this single element took its boffins a year to develop.
The special pattern of the Starlight Headliner also reflects constellations as they were positioned over the Furka Pass on 11 July 1964, when filming was completed on the famous car chase. It uses 719 stars, which glow with a subtle gold hue.
Other people might have old parking tickets and loose coins in their centre console, the Phantom Goldfinger is fitted with a solid 18-carat gold bar in the shape of the company’s Speedform concept. Hopefully not recently separated from the late Mr. Solo.
Finally, the picnic tables in the back have 22-carat gold inlays with a fictional map of Fort Knox, while mounted to the inside of the bootlid is a gold-plated putter that has been engraved with the initials ‘AG’, just like Goldfinger’s signet ring in the film.
