Even though the Ghost is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 Km/h (62mph) in well under 5sec, thanks to its 592 HP V12, the model still got associated with an elephant. And not because of its 2.5-ton weight.
The latest limited-edition automobile from the Goodwood-based car maker takes inspiration from Thailand’s most revered icon, the elephant – representing a unique commemoration of Thai culture and heritage.
Named the KoChaMongKol Ghost Extended Wheelbase, the vehicle’s English White exterior represents a perfect canvas for the bespoke black and orange Mandarin pinstripe, complemented by the elephant motif detailing.
The exotic animal was used as the main decoration figure because it has played a significant role in Thai society throughout the ages, as a symbol of prosperity and good fortune.
The same theme is carried over into the interior as well, creating an “inviting sanctuary of stylish luxury” – according to Rolls Royce itself. The Smoke Grey leather backdrops the Mandarin seat piping, the headrest embroidery, and the woodgrain, while the elephant motif can be found throughout the cabin.
Needless to say, the vehicle’s attention to detail is mind-boggling, but after spoiling us with limited editions after limited editions, Rolls-Royce has to come up with something even more special to get our blood flowing again.
