Rolls—Royce Motor Cars Dubai Intros New Editions to the “Pioneers Collection”
AGMC has unveiled Bespoke Rolls-Royce cars during a special event held at the Rolls-Royce Boutique in City Walk. The Rolls-Royce Wraith Teal, Rolls-Royce Wraith Falcon, Rolls-Royce Brenner Green Dawn Black Badge, and the Rolls-Royce Orange Dawn Candy Mandarin were presented as the latest editions to AGMC’s exciting ‘Pioneers Collection’. Each was created through a combination of exceptional vision, wonderful craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology.
Inspirational modern masterpieces and future automotive icons commissioned by AGMC, these Rolls-Royce motor cars pay homage to the heritage of the famous carmaker and echo the style, grace, and luxury of previous ‘Pioneers Collection’ Rolls-Royce motor cars – the Arabian Gulf Phantom, the Digital Soul Phantom and the Horology Phantom.
The ‘Pioneers Collection’ represents the relentless spirit of Rolls-Royce while at the same time reimagining the potential for supreme luxury personalisation that only Rolls-Royce can achieve. Mamdouh Khairallah, General Manager of AGMC Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Dubai, said: “It is our huge privilege and honour to showcase these new one-of-one editions to the phenomenal Rolls-Royce ‘Pioneers Collection’ to our VIP customers. With the Rolls-Royce Wraith Teal, Rolls-Royce Wraith Falcon, Rolls-Royce Brenner Green Dawn Black Badge, and the Rolls-Royce Orange Dawn Candy Mandarin our customers will discover sensational automobiles that are one-of-a-kind additions to Rolls-Royce and AGMC’s distinguished legacy of excellence and luxury.”
César Habib, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Regional Director Middle East and Africa, said: “The Rolls-Royce Wraith Teal, Rolls-Royce Wraith Falcon, Rolls-Royce Brenner Green Dawn Black Badge, and the Rolls-Royce Orange Dawn Candy Mandarin are a stunning realisation of what Bespoke can achieve. With these Rolls-Royce motor cars, and with the ‘Pioneers Collection’ as a whole, AGMC has reached extraordinary levels of excellence with a fleet of super-luxury motor cars that are destined to be celebrated as the new icons of tomorrow.”
The Orange Dawn Candy Mandarin is the first Rolls-Royce Dawn to feature woven leather Canadel Paneling to the doors, an innovative technique developed by the Bespoke leathershop team in Goodwood. This innovation is complemented by a stunning Candy Mandarin surface finish and matching painted carbon fiber veneer details inside.
The Rolls-Royce Brenner Green Dawn Black Badge is the first Dawn to feature a hand-stitched rear waterfall as well as hand-stitched seat piping. Combined with a stunning Brenner Green Bespoke exterior and matching green interior pinstripes and Clock, it forms a vibrant and contemporary interpretation of the Dawn Black Badge.
Featuring a full Diba Teal exterior and newly developed matching leather interior, the Wraith acts a colourful canvas for a sophisticated collection of Bespoke features. Interior vents, speaker grilles, and chrome controls have been darkened with a PVD coating, further adding to the sleek interior. Large scale rear waterfall embroidery forms an interior highlight between carbon fibre elements and Diba Teal leather.
An intricate and large-scale embroidery of a falcon spans the entire width of the Wraith’s Charles Blue headliner. The falcon theme also features in abstract form as embroidery to the rear waterfall and as part of the coachline motif.
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Dubai, which earlier this year was awarded Best Bespoke Dealer of the Year at the Global Dealer Awards in China, are the perfect choice to showcase these extraordinary one-of-one cars in the UAE.
AGMC presented these motor cars at the Rolls-Royce Boutique in City Walk that is celebrating three years of showcasing the very best Rolls-Royces to customers. The event was attended by VIP guests, esteemed collectors and Rolls-Royce aficionados from across the UAE, the region and beyond.
