Rolls-Royce Phantom loses two doors: Ares Modena makes it sexier

Here's how Ares Modena customized the famous Rolls-Royce model

In a market where exclusivity is reigns supreme, the Italian company has redefined the canons of automotive luxury by transforming the Phantom into a two-door coupe. The design team, through skillful downsizing of proportions, has given the vehicle a sleeker, more dynamic appearance.

Available in two colors

Available in two colors, black and white, each speciment of the Coupé is distinguished by rose gold details on the engine hood and windshield frame, a touch of sophistication that underscores its uniqueness.

Not neglecting the technical aspect, Ares Modena equipped the Ares Coupe with 24-inch wheels and 10-inch forged rims, optimized to support the rear-wheel drive of the 2.6-ton sedan. This choice highlights a perfect balance between technological advancement, superlative quality and craftsmanship.

Custom interior

Inside, the Italian coachbuilder has created an environment that reflects the ultimate in luxury and customization. The transformation to coupe required a complete redesign of the interior, with new panels and seats that maintain the exceptional comfort characteristic of the luxurious Rolls-Royce. The use of diamond-textured embossed leather further emphasizes the exclusivity of the interior.

Ares Modena used only the highest quality materials in the construction of the Ares Coupe, with carbon fiber exterior panels, an exclusive two-tone paint job and skirts also made of carbon fiber. Every aspect of the car, from the antenna to the front seats, is customizable, making each Coupe unique and reflective of the owner’s individual preferences.

Exclusivity is further guaranteed by limited production. Each unit is made with the utmost care and precision, ensuring that Ares Modena’s legacy of creating automotive masterpieces is respected and carried on. Under the new body, the special Rolls-Royce Phantom has retained the 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 engine, which produces 563 hp of power and 900 Nm of maximum torque. It is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Ares Modena has created several one-offs in the past, including the Bentley Mulsanne Coupe.

Battista Reversario

Automobili Pininfarina has reached new heights of automotive craftsmanship with the introduction of the Battista Reversario, a bespoke creation inspired by the Battista Anniversario and the concept of balance. Representing the epitome of ‘Dream Cars. Made Real’, this latest offering underscores Automobili Pininfarina’s commitment to crafting truly unique vehicles in collaboration with its clients.

Each vehicle produced at Automobili Pininfarina’s Cambiano atelier is a testament to individuality, reflecting the distinct personality of its owner. The Battista Reversario stands as a prime example of this ethos, showcasing the level of personalization available to discerning clients.

Collaborating closely with Automobili Pininfarina designers, the client has conceived a one-of-a-kind vehicle that embodies their vision and preferences. Already a collector of automotive rarities, the client’s acquisition of the fifth and final Battista Anniversario model laid the groundwork for the creation of the Battista Reversario.

A standout feature of the Battista Reversario is its unique color scheme, meticulously crafted to be the inverse of the iconic Pininfarina heritage-inspired design theme that characterized the Anniversario. The lower body gleams in Bianco Sestriere gloss, contrasting elegantly with the upper body finished in Grigio Antonelliano gloss.

Continuing the theme, the pinstripes echo the upper stripe in the signature Iconica Blu hue. Custom inscriptions, including the vehicle’s distinctive ‘Reversario’ nameplate, adorn the carbon side wings and the underside of the active rear wing, both forward-facing and in reflection.

Inside the cabin, Pilota seats feature white-on-white Alcantara quilting against a perforated background in Iconica Blu. While the overall ambiance is predominantly black, accent details such as the cupholder retainer, headliner center bezel, and seatbelts are highlighted in Iconica Blu, lending a harmonious contrast.

Completing the ensemble is an exclusive three-piece luggage set tailored to the client’s lifestyle. Crafted from luxurious black leather with Iconica Blu accents and off-white Alcantara quilting, the set exemplifies the ultimate in bespoke craftsmanship.

Speaking on the creation of the Reversario, the client remarked, “Anniversario and Reversario were destined to be created by the Automobili Pininfarina team. I simply challenged them to understand what could be created if you follow your heart and passion. All credit goes to them.”

Dave Amantea, Chief Design Officer at Automobili Pininfarina, emphasized the significance of the Reversario as the ultimate expression of the company’s design philosophy. “Reversario was the ultimate commission. Taking inspiration from the original Anniversario, it is a reflection in every aspect, using a timeless combination of colors to create an opposite that works alone and together,” he stated.

Both the Battista Anniversario and Reversario stand as milestones in automotive history, representing the pinnacle of Italian engineering prowess. Powered by a cutting-edge electric powertrain, these hyper GTs offer unparalleled performance while embodying the luxury and elegance synonymous with the Pininfarina name.

With its blend of hypercar capabilities and GT comfort, the Battista series sets a new standard for automotive excellence, promising an exhilarating driving experience like no other. As the automotive world celebrates the harmony achieved through the creation of the Battista twins, Automobili Pininfarina reaffirms its commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive innovation.
