Armored Rolls Royce Phantom Solid Gold – $8 Million

This Rolls Royce Phantom is luxury as its finest, thanks to Stuart Hughes of Liverpool and Eurocash AG, a Swiss company. Both Stuart Hughes and Eurocash AG specialize in retrofitting existing products to be more luxurious.

One example of their work is the Rolls Royce Phantom Solid Gold. Not only does this car contain a ridiculous 264 pounds of 18-carat gold, but the Phantom is also armored. The car is said to be certified by the German Government Beschussamt München and the armoring on the vehicle can take hits from the AK47, about 570 shots from the Dragnuov, and 2 hand-grenades all at once. Not too bad, if you ask me. I sure hope they didn’t test that out on this particular Phantom.

$8 Million Rolls Royce Phantom Solid Gold

The car is scattered with gold on the exterior and interior. Exact-fitting gold veneers were custom built for the exterior of the Rolls Royce Phantom. Molds were taken of the interior in order to apply gold throughout, the interior of the vehicle was covered in gold.

The whole project took approximately 18-months to complete and was shipped off to the Middle East to an anonymous buyer at a cost of $8.1 million! Why am I not surprised that it was some dude in the Middle East?

  1. Really necessary in a world of such great inequities – Makes on realize how really secure and well protected some folks are. Soon the concentration of wealth towards the very few at the top in the U.S.A. will makes such vehicles even more common-place. Humanity soon divided even on American streets into two categories, very poor and disposables, and the very rich. We see now as Carl Marx predicted, proletariat forced to precariat, then disenfranchised completely, landless peasants even, once the realm of the “Blacks” in America now home to all without work.

  2. I don’t disagree with your comment but chances are this ridiculous vehicle is heading to the middle east…not the USA. Now you have a different rant to tell…

  3. Birdman could easily afford the car but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t belong to him. He does have an amazing collection of cars though. Birdman is the type of a dude that would rather have $8 million around his neck in “bling”.

  4. People who work hard to earn their money don’t generally waste it like this. People whose families happen to have owned worthless land that won a geological lottery and happened to have a massive oil reserve beneath it (analogous to old money here in the states) will blow it until it’s gone. And it will be gone, sooner than they’d like.

  5. You could feed a country; I hate seeing this crap. Eat the rich; they’re slow and well marbled. Start with the children.

  6. I bet if this were some idiot rappers car these commenters wouldn’t find near as bad. Yet if it is an Arab businessman’s car, they are horridied.

  7. This car didn’t come from thin air. Well paid craftsmen built it from materials mined and manufactured by common people. It paid for a lot of jobs. Jimmy Carter learned that with his 75% luxury tax that killed all the small luxury craftsmen business’s in the US. All the yacht making went offshore and the yacht makers and suppliers went out of business, thousands of common people lost jobs.

    • Maybe if you people possessed enough intelligence to form and express complete thoughts, spell correctly, and use proper punctuation, you could create a better life instead of a bitter one. Stop concerning yourself with what others have, whether it’s inherited, earned, stolen, or otherwise. You have a limited amount of mental resources [some of you have considerably less than others], so do yourself a favour and put them to good use.
