Rolls-Royce

and RM Sotheby’s has announced a partnership amidst an expected luxurious environment, with a five-course dinner at Sotheby’s redesigned 90,000-plus-square-foot New York City headquarters. As part of Rolls-Royce’s 115th birthday celebration (the official date was May 4), the two announced a one-off, bespoke 2020

Rolls-Royce Phantom

will be

auctioned

off this fall exclusively on Sotheby’s online auction service.

The lead image shows an early-stage sketch of what the special-edition

Phantom

could look like. There are extremely limited details about the car, but Rolls-Royce confirmed it will be red. It will also include “an original hand-crafted leather work of art” as part of the interior. We expect this to be in the same vein as the dashboard inlays and hand-stitching we’ve seen in past bespoke Rolls-Royces.

Because the one-off car will be honoring a birthday, we wouldn’t be surprised if it featured several indicators that mark the occasion. Think numbered door sills, treadplates, dashboard or console plaques, and possibly special-edition badges. This, of course, is speculation, but these are often features on these types of vehicles.

The base price of a

Rolls-Royce Phantom

is approximately $450,000, and when we

first tested the uber-luxe personal limo

, it reached as high as about $650,000. And that was just a “regular” Phantom. As a guaranteed collector’s item, a set price for this vehicle would likely cost significantly more. But its price is not set, as it will be sold through RM Sotheby’s online auction. It seems likely that this thing could easily tick right past $1 million.

Rolls-Royce said the car will be auctioned in the fall but gave no specific dates. We’ll provide updates as soon as we get ’em.
