Luxury
entrepreneur Stephen Hung has purchased the largest Rolls-Royce Phantom fleet
in the world, placing an order for 30 Bespoke Extended Wheelbase Phantoms for
his Louis XIII hotel in Macau.
This transaction represents the world’s single
largest order of Rolls-Royces ever. Two of the fleet will be the most expensive
Rolls-Royce Phantoms ever commissioned.
The deal
was formalised on 16th September 2014 at a signing ceremony at the Home of
Rolls‑Royce at Goodwood in West Sussex, England. The signing ceremony was
attended by Rolls-Royce CEO, Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes, Louis XIII Chairman,
Stephen Hung, the Board of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Louis XIII executives and a
representative from Graff Diamonds.
“Macau is
rapidly evolving into the luxury capital of the world and we are honoured to
have the opportunity to add to Macau’s many distinctions, the world’s largest
fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantoms, including the two most luxurious vehicles
Rolls-Royce has ever built. Louis XIII and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars share the
same philosophy: to deliver the perfect experience to the world’s most
discerning customers,” said Louis XIII Chairman, Stephen Hung.
“We at
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars are delighted and honoured that Mr Hung has commissioned
Rolls-Royce to provide the largest single order of Phantoms in history. The
Louis XIII fleet of Phantoms promises to be one of most impressive sights ever
seen in Macau when they arrive at the Louis XIII hotel in 2016. Mr Hung’s
commission reaffirms Phantom’s pinnacle position as the motor car of choice for
those seeking to experience the finest luxury the world has to offer,”
commented Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes, Chief Executive Officer of Rolls-Royce Motor
Cars.
Each of the
30 Rolls-Royces has been extensively customised by Rolls-Royce’s Bespoke design
team at Goodwood working hand-in-hand with Mr Hung and Louis XIII to create
truly distinctive vehicles. Newly created bespoke elements have been applied
extensively both to the interior and exterior of the cars including bespoke
clocks designed and created by Graff Luxury Watches. The two most expensive
Phantoms will additionally feature external and internal gold-plated accents.
Rolls-Royce
Motor Cars has also helped to design the parking and driveways to house the
fleet at Louis XIII and will train Louis XIII’s chauffeurs from Macau in the
appropriate driving and handling of the unique vehicles.
The Phantom
fleet will chauffeur the guests of Louis XIII, located on the Cotai Strip in
Macau, when it is opened in the first half of 2016.
