The Rolls-Royce Phantom Dentelle inspired by Couture Lace will have you drooling. Check it out…
The Rolls-Royce Phantom Dentelle is a special car inspired by Couture Lace. Check Offers Rolls-Royce has unveiled a one-off creation, the Phantom Dentelle, developed through its Private Office in Dubai. Commissioned by a Middle Eastern client as a personal gift for their father, the vehicle draws its inspiration from a piece of fine lace fabric, crafted using a rare Leavers loom, which has influenced both the interior detailing and exterior finish. Rolls-Royce Phantom Dentelle: Interior The standout feature of the Phantom Dentelle's interior is the Gallery, a unique panel stretching across the dashboard, which has been used to showcase embroidered artwork. Inspired by the textures and patterns of couture lace, the piece uses over 160,000 stitches in layered techniques and subtle colours such as Rose Gold, Sunrise, and Oatmeal to depict floral motifs. The rear Waterfall section continues the theme with around 70,000 stitches, echoing the lace patterns seen on the dashboard. Details like Rose Gold speaker grilles, Grace White and Sunrise leather upholstery, and Piano White veneers complete the cabin's look. Embroidered RR monograms on the headrests add to the personalised touches.

Brienny Dudley from Rolls-Royce's Interior Trim Centre noted that the embroidery was designed to interact with light, creating subtle movement and depth as it reflects different angles, similar to how light plays on fabric. Rolls-Royce Phantom Dentelle: Bespoke exterior The Phantom Dentelle's exterior features a two-tone paint finish: Crystal over Arctic White for the lower section and Crystal over Palais Nemasker Dawn for the upper body, a colour created specifically for the client. The bodywork is finished with a hand-painted coachline in Sunrise, ending in a small leafy branch design with pearl-like accents, mirroring the interior embroidery. Other exterior elements include 22-inch polished disc wheels with body-coloured centres, and Rose Gold accents on the Spirit of Ecstasy ornament and treadplates.

Rather than bold statements, the focus here is on subtle, layered craftsmanship drawn from textile artistry, translating couture elements into automotive form. While only a single example has been produced, the Phantom Dentelle illustrates how Rolls-Royce continues to explore unusual materials and techniques in its bespoke offerings, influenced by a wide range of cultural and artistic sources.

Mahindra BE 6 And XEV 9e Pack 2 Get 79 kWh Battery Pack; Check Prices
Mahindra has made the 79 kWh battery pack more affordable for the BE 6 and XEV 9e by adding it to the Pack 2 trim of the electric vehicles. This move from the brand seems to be rooted in the consumer demand pattern, which the company has observed after the launch of both SUVs. A while back, the brand had announced that over 75 per cent of total bookings were for the expensive Pack 3 variants, which in the long term would affect the sales volume. The Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two with the 79 kWh battery pack comes at Rs 23.50 lakh (ex-showroom), bringing down the price for the option from Rs 26.50 lakh (ex-showroom). Similarly, for the XEV 9e, the option of a 79 kWh battery pack now begins at Rs 24.50 lakh (ex-showroom), which is a significant reduction compared to the option on Pack 2. This iteration with the 79 kWh battery pack promises a range of up to 500 km, while the 59 kWh version offers 400 km.

In the XEV 9e, buyers will enjoy a triple-screen wide cinemascope display, while the BE 6 boasts a race-inspired digital cockpit. Additionally, Mahindra is incorporating sage leatherette interiors from Pack Three into the BE 6 Pack Two, complemented by an ivory roof finish for an elevated aesthetic. These electric SUVs are designed with both performance and convenience at their core. With 210 kW of power available in the 79 kWh variant and 170 kW in the 59 kWh version, along with several driving modes, including Boost Mode, they provide an exciting driving experience. Furthermore, the BE 6 and XEV 9e Pack Two models are equipped with superfast charging technology, enabling a 20 to 80 per cent battery recharge in just 20 minutes when using fast DC chargers.
