Custom-Made Rolls Royce Phantom to be auctioned for $5.2 Million

An ingenious car designer from France has given the Rolls Royce Phantom an epic twist and made it look like a batmobile, if Batman ever owned a Rolls Royce. Danton Arts Kustoms, a custom car workshop in France, has built a Rolls Royce Phantom with six wheels.

Alexandre Danton, the maker of this car, wishes to sell his epic creation for $5.2 million. It is based on the 2005 Phantom, and Alexandre has given the vehicle epic customization. It is powered by the 2005 model 6.8-litre V-12 engine.

Alexandre has been in the business of modifying cars for around 20 years. It took him three months to tear apart and re-piece this magnum opus. Alexandre had to re-leather the seats and he added crocodile leather to the car's steering wheel.


The armrest of this car has been covered in snakeskin. In order to add a bit of contrast to the matte black finish of the vehicle, Alexandre gave it gold-plated brake callipers. This masterpiece also has a roof rack, extra side steps and a yellow light bar.

To extend this Rolls Royce Phantom 6x6, Alexandre used a 2005 BMW seven series' shell and rear axle. As per HotCars, an automotive website, there have been no mechanical modifications made by Alexandre in the standard engine of the Phantom. However, the engine is covered with a gold leaf.

Alexandre is quite famous for modifying cars and turning them into masterpieces. He has a specialization in making hot rods. He modified a 1971 Porsche 911T and switched the original engine with a Bentley V8 engine of 6.75 litre. Similarly, he has also modified a 1970 Lamborghini Espada and swapped the original engine with Sant' Agata Bolognese's new V12 engine.
