New Cars: 2011 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe Shaheen & Phantom Bayunah


Rolls-Royce has unveiled two new Phantom models for the Middle East market: the Phantom Coupé Shaheen and the Phantom Bayunah.

Both will be built according to demand and pricing will depend on the options the individual customer chooses.

The base price in the Middle East is $381,000 (£245,000) for the standard Phantom, and $408,000 (£262,000) for the standard Phantom Coupé, not including delivery or VAT.

The four-door Phantom Bayunah’s interior and exterior styling features shades of beige and brown and has a tan ever-flex roof. It has been inspired by the landscape of the Baynunah area in the western region of Abu Dhabi famous for its sand dunes.

The inlay and marquetry are “inspired by the traditional, vibrant colours of an Arabian camel harness” according to Rolls-Royce and are made at Rolls-Royce’s headquarters in Goodwood using individually cut hand-assembled pieces of coloured veneer.

The Phantom Coupé Shaheen has been inspired by the region’s famous falcon, the Shaheen, and has a marquise-white exterior with a red and Seashell leather interior featuring falcon motifs embroidered into the head rests.

Both will be made available in Rolls-Royce’s eight dealerships across the Middle East in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha, Jeddah, Kuwait City, Manama, Muscat and Riyadh.
