Instead the company will be showing some impressive one-off models with some impressive features that have been commissioned by customers. As you might expect from a company like Rolls Royce, this is a showcase of the finer arts with an impressive level of detail and craftsmanship that we often tend to feel is lacking in the modern age.The Gentleman\u2019s TourerWith an appreciative nod to the 1930s, this Phantom has been equipped with extras that are guaranteed to make the owner desperate for someone to ask them about their car \u2013 and when someone does, the owner will be able to proudly state that the dashboard is completed with ruthenium, a rare metal affiliated with platinum (no, I\u2019d never heard of it either). RR calls it the Cascade Steel Gallery. Of course.Whispered MuseMore noticeable than a high quality dashboard for the passer by is the famous Spirit of Ecstasy \u2013 and this vehicle will showcase the company\u2019s first ever rose gold mascot. This eighth gen Phantom also gets a bespoke dash with a Helen Amy Murray interpretation of the original Spirit of Ecstasy drawings.A Moment in TimeThis Phantom uses artist Helen Amy Murray\u2019s silk appliqu\u00e9 version of\u00a0the mascot, which was originally created in clay before becoming a striking machined piece of aluminium. It may be one of the less distracting bespoke dash options that Rolls Royce can offer.Of course, all this is intended to whet the appetite and reveal to those that might not be aware just how individual and unique your Phantom dash area can be. After all, it\u2019s probably the one thing you get to feast your eyes on most while behind the wheel. Other dash options include a porcelain design based on rose flowers and created by Nymphenburg, a Bavarian manufacturer.Or maybe you prefer something subtler like the iridescent peacock feather styling by Swiss company Nature Squared. Decidedly less subtle might be the diamond studded textile option by designer Richard Fox, or how about Thorsten Franck\u2019s 24-carat gold and stainless steel design\u2026Dawn Aero CowlingNo, Dawn Aero Cowling is not the name of another wistful sounding limited edition, but in fact a way to turn your 4-seater Rolls into a 2-seater by covering up the rear seats with a pair of carbon fibre and aluminium cowls. While it might seem like pure aesthetic fancy, Rolls Royce claim that it does improve the air flow over the topless Dawn Drophead, while also providing easily accessible – and lockable – storage. It also makes your car look a tad sportier too of course.So there you go, while some of the monikers used here may sound like long-lost 4AD albums from the eighties, there\u2019s no doubt that Rolls\u2019 Geneva Motor Show display is going to be nothing short of stunning. Images: dezeen.com, pistonheads.com"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Event Coverage","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/event-coverage\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Rolls Royce Reveals Stunning Designs for Geneva","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/event-coverage\/rolls-royce-reveal-stunning-designs\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
