The family behind real estate company EV Homes has made a spectacular statement in the world of luxury cars. Aaron Vicky Thomas, son of the family, has taken delivery of three Rolls-Royce cars on the same day. The collection comprises an ultra-luxurious two-tone Phantom and two Cullinan SUVs, with the combined value estimated at over Rs. 50 crore.
Pictures and videos shared on Instagram have attracted considerable attention, with the delivery being described as India’s most expensive single-day car delivery. The highlight of the collection is the two-tone Rolls-Royce Phantom, which reportedly features a gold Spirit of Ecstasy bonnet mascot. It is also being described as India’s most expensive Phantom, although the exact bespoke specification and final invoice value have not been disclosed.
The two Cullinan SUVs complete the extraordinary three-car collection. Rolls-Royce’s flagship SUV is among the most expensive luxury SUVs sold in India, and its extensive personalisation options can push the final price significantly higher.
The Phantom is the centrepiece of this delivery. It is Rolls-Royce’s flagship luxury limousine and is built around the brand’s Architecture of Luxury platform.
The current Phantom is powered by a 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 petrol engine. In its standard specification, the engine produces around 570 Bhp and is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
However, what makes this particular Phantom special is its reported two-tone exterior finish and gold Spirit of Ecstasy. Rolls-Royce’s Bespoke division allows customers to personalise virtually every aspect of their cars, including paint finishes, interior materials, upholstery, veneers and exterior detailing.
Such customisation can add several crores to the price of an already expensive luxury car. The Phantom’s final price in this particular delivery has not been officially revealed.
The other two vehicles are Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUVs. The Cullinan is the British luxury manufacturer’s first SUV and has become a popular choice among India’s wealthiest business families and celebrities.
The latest Cullinan Series II is powered by a 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 petrol engine producing 571 Bhp and 850 Nm of torque. It comes with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and an all-wheel-drive system.
The Series II update brought revised exterior styling, including updated lighting elements, redesigned bumpers and new alloy wheel designs. Inside, the SUV features Rolls-Royce’s latest Spirit infotainment system and an expansive glass display panel known as the Gallery.
The Cullinan’s standard starting price in India is already above Rs. 10 crore, before customisation and optional extras. Two examples, therefore, represent a substantial investment even before considering bespoke specifications.
With one Phantom and two Cullinans delivered together, the reported value of this collection exceeds Rs. 50 crore. The actual amount could vary depending on the individual specifications and bespoke options selected. So, we’ll have to go by the claims made for now.
For context, the Phantom and Cullinan are among the most expensive models in the Rolls-Royce India portfolio. Their prices can rise substantially through personalisation, making it difficult to establish an exact value without actual bills. And in case of Rolls Royce and many bespoke luxury brands, such bills are usually never made public.
