GOODWOOD, England, Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Luxury
entrepreneur Stephen Hung has
purchased the largest Rolls-Royce Phantom fleet in the world,
placing an order for 30 Bespoke Extended Wheelbase Phantoms for his
Louis XIII hotel in Macau. This
transaction represents the world's single largest order of
Rolls-Royces ever. Two of the fleet will be the most
expensive Rolls-Royce Phantoms ever commissioned.
The deal was formalised on 16th September 2014 at a signing ceremony at the Home
of Rolls‑Royce at Goodwood in West
Sussex, England. The signing ceremony was attended by
Rolls-Royce CEO, Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes, Louis XIII Chairman,
Stephen Hung, the Board of
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Louis XIII executives and a representative
from Graff Diamonds.
"Macau is rapidly evolving into
the luxury capital of the world and we are honoured to have the
opportunity to add to Macau's many
distinctions, the world's largest fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantoms,
including the two most luxurious vehicles Rolls-Royce has ever
built. Louis XIII and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars share the same
philosophy: to deliver the perfect experience to the world's most
discerning customers," said Louis XIII Chairman, Stephen Hung.
"We at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars are delighted and honoured that Mr
Hung has commissioned Rolls-Royce to provide the largest single
order of Phantoms in history. The Louis XIII fleet of
Phantoms promises to be one of most impressive sights ever seen in
Macau when they arrive at the
Louis XIII hotel in 2016. Mr Hung's commission reaffirms
Phantom's pinnacle position as the motor car of choice for those
seeking to experience the finest luxury the world has to offer,"
commented Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes, Chief Executive Officer of
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
Each of the 30 Rolls-Royces has been extensively customised by
Rolls-Royce's Bespoke design team at Goodwood working hand-in-hand
with Mr Hung and Louis XIII to create truly distinctive
vehicles. Newly created bespoke elements have been applied
extensively both to the interior and exterior of the cars including
bespoke clocks designed and created by Graff Luxury Watches.
The two most expensive Phantoms will additionally feature external
and internal gold-plated accents.
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has also helped to design the parking and
driveways to house the fleet at Louis XIII and will train Louis
XIII's chauffeurs from Macau in
the appropriate driving and handling of the unique vehicles.
The Phantom fleet will chauffeur the guests of Louis XIII,
located on the Cotai Strip in Macau, when it is opened in the first half of
