The Rolls-Royce Phantom Tempus series adopts an unprecedented rolling art concept, with a limited edition of 20 cars, with "time-inspired, astronomical phenomena, and the infinite range of the universe."

"The difference between past, present and future is just a stubborn illusion"

In addition to more pedestrian equipment, the canopy of the Tempus series uses intricate embroidery and hand-laid fiber optic lighting. The stunningly beautiful display is inspired by pulsars, the remnants of massive star explosions and the most accurate natural clock in the universe. .

Tempus is coated with Kairos Blue, a new paint finish that incorporates blue mica flakes that sparkle and reflect light, almost like the night sky. Finally, the Spirit of Ecstasy hood decoration on each car is engraved with a custom date and location unique to each buyer, making each Phantom Tempus truly unique.

An engraved plaque in the glove box has a famous saying, Albert Einstein's "stubborn illusion" (naturally used with permission from Einstein's estate).

There is a "rotating, twisted star pattern" on the door, made with additional fiber optic lighting to match the pulsar on the ceiling.

All 20 Phantom Tempus cars were sold out, and only two came to the United States. The exact pricing was not disclosed, but Rolls-Royce said it will run at a price of more than $750,000. If you have to ask...

"With Phantom Tempus, our source of inspiration is on the appropriate large scale: time, deep space, and a theoretical physicist who changed the way we look at the universe and our place in it." — Torsten Müller- Ötvös, CEO of Rolls-Royce
