MANILA, Philippines - A tycoon has purchased not one, but two of the most expensive Rolls-Royce Phantoms ever commissioned.
The two Phantoms were part of Hong Kong entrepreneur Stephen Hung's order for 30 Bespoke Extended Wheel Base Phantoms for his Louis XIII hotel in Macau. This was the single largest order of Rolls-Royce ever.
The price of the 30 Rolls-Royce Phantoms was not disclosed, although The Financial Times valued the deal at $20 million.
The Phantom fleet will chauffeur the guests of Louis XIII hotel, located on the Cotai Strip, when it opens in the first half of 2016.
Hung, who is chairman of Louis XIII, signed the deal with Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes at a ceremony at the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood in West Sussex, England.
"Macau is rapidly evolving into the luxury capital of the world and we are honored 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," Hung said.
Each of the 30 Rolls-Royce vehicles has been extensively customized by Rolls-Royce’s Bespoke design team.
The two most expensive Phantoms will feature external and internal gold-plated accents.
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has also helped to design the parking and driveways at Louis XIII hotel. They will also train the hotel's chauffeurs in how to drive and handle the vehicles.
