Rolls-Royce ships Stephen Hung’s Phantom fleet to Macau

Written by Ben Blaschke

Colorful entrepreneur Stephen Hung is about to take delivery of the world’s largest Rolls-Royce fleet.

Ahead of the projected opening of Hung’s uber-luxury Macau hotel The 13 early next year, the famous British carmaker has now shipped all 30 of the Rolls-Royce Phantoms – originally commissioned two years ago – from its factory in Goodwood, England.

“Crafted in close collaboration with Mr Hung, the fleet comprises 30 Extended Wheelbase Phantoms in the livery of The 13 hotel, two of which are ‘Gold’,” Rolls-Royce said in a statement.

“The livery applied to each of The 13 Phantoms comprises a specially formulated ‘Stephen Red’ exterior paint developed to the exacting requirements of Mr Hung, complemented by a hand-painted gold twin coach line that culminates in a specially designed The 13 motif. The Bespoke 21” wheels are also finished in ‘Stephen Red’.

“Included in the fleet are two ‘Gold’ Phantoms, which will be reserved for use by select guests, each featuring a gold Spirit of Ecstasy, gold Pantheon grille, gold interior accents and diamond encrusted Rolls-Royce badge. Additionally, the ‘Stephen Red’ paint that is used for the ‘Gold’ Phantoms is infused with fine particles of pure gold.

“The stunning exterior theme of the fleet is elegantly echoed in an exquisitely crafted interior. A specially developed wood staining technique evokes the ‘Stephen Red’ colour scheme, whilst a chequered pattern integrated to the rear seats echo the marble entrance hall motif of The 13. The clock was designed in collaboration with master jeweller Graff.”
