Rolls-Royce’s Starlight Headliner stands as a testament to automotive innovation, offering passengers a celestial ambiance within the confines of a luxury car. Crafted at Rolls-Royce’s Goodwood Plant in West Sussex, England, the Starlight Headliner represents a fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology.
Debuting in the Phantom luxury sedan in 2007, the Starlight Headliner has evolved into a signature feature across Rolls-Royce models. Initially comprising 800 lights, the star-studded canopy now integrates 1,340 lights, extending from the rear window to the windshield, creating a mesmerizing constellation within the cabin.
Rolls-Royce’s artisans meticulously handcraft each Starlight Headliner, exemplifying an unwavering commitment to detail and precision. Fiberoptic strands are delicately woven into perforated leather, and meticulously positioned to emit light at varying depths and angles, resulting in a fascinating celestial display.
Passengers enjoy personalized control over the brightness and color of the stars, facilitating customization to suit individual preferences. The inception of the Starlight Headliner stemmed from a customer’s request to replicate the serene ambiance of starlit skies, exemplifying Rolls-Royce’s dedication to fulfilling bespoke desires. Each Starlight Headliner undergoes a meticulous crafting process, requiring up to nine hours to complete.
For custom configurations, such as personalized constellations or insignias, crafting may extend to 17 hours, reflecting Rolls-Royce’s commitment to delivering unparalleled luxury and exclusivity. Moreover, the Starlight Headliner finds its apex in the Celestial Phantom, a bespoke variant adorned with over 1,000 hand-woven fiber optic lights and 446 meticulously set diamonds.
