Rolls-Royce to present the Phantom Regatta at the 2026 Festival of Speed

It’s a typical example of a Rolls-Royce creation that more closely manifests as a piece of priceless artwork than a car, it even features a hand-painted seascape on its dashboard panel, and yet it’s just as driveable as any other Phantom.

Hand-finished in Regatta Blue with English White along the lower bodywork, this one-of-one Phantom evokes the sea from all directions, even the wheels shined to a mirror polish are inspired by the winches of a racing yacht.

That theme continues inside with deep blue and white tones giving the feel of being aboard a luxury yacht, with the wooden features painstakingly designed to give the feeling of decking. The picnic tabletops alone took 120 hours of work to complete.

The artwork that acts as the centre piece for this stunning creation is called ‘Watercolour’, painted by Rolls-Royce's in-house artist onto a high-quality wood substate panel. It took more than two weeks to perfect and rounds off the piece in a way only this marque could achieve.

One final and delicate feature is a set of coordinates that have been engraved into the ‘eyeball’ air vents. Only visible when the vents are tilted forwards, the passenger side shows the coordinates of Goodwood House, 50°52'12"N 00°44'24"W, while the driver side carries those of the Home of Rolls-Royce, 50°51'13"N 00°44'40"W.

This looks to be a stunning piece of work from Rolls-Royce and definitely worth a visit during the 2026 Festival of Speed.
