New Delhi: The Ambani family is primarily known for their wealth and their car collection, their expensive assets. They always buy rare and impressive assets that are much sought after by other people to see, and this time, they have purchased. Recently, Anant Ambani’s latest purchase has got everyone talking and is definitely the star of the luxury car collection. According to some sources, it is a new Rolls-Royce Phantom VII Series II Extended, in imposing and highlighted colour called Star of Indian Orange.
This rare orange colour is a tribute to the legendary car from 1934: The Rolls-Royce Phantom II commissioned by the Maharaja of Rajkot. This classic vehicle was famously called the Star of India. The Maharaja’s custom-built car was a unique seven-seater convertible, finished in a striking saffron and silver scheme. This colour was inspired by the famous 563-carat Star Sapphire gem. This classic car was eventually sold, but it was later brought back to India by the Rajkot royal family, making its story a symbol of India’s royal car history. By choosing this specific orange shade, Anant Ambani has created a modern version of that historical icon for his garage.
The starting price for this modern Phantom is around Rs 10.5 crore before any custom options are added. It is an extended wheelbase model, which means it offers maximum space and comfort inside. The Phantom represents the ultimate blend of luxury and engineering; it is hand-built, powered by the quiet V12 engine, and the interior is a mix of fine leather and wood. This car is built to be a tranquil and comfortable sanctuary. And for Ambani, this car is more than just a big purchase, but it also connects modern luxury to India’s motoring past.
Ambani’s family already have more than 15 Rolls-Royce cars, including sedans and SUVs, with their collection valued in crores. Ambanis often choose bold and diverse colours for their luxury Rolls-Royce collection, such as Rose Quartz, Gold, and Blue, instead of the standard white, grey, and black, which are usually preferred by many other celebrities. Anant Ambani’s choice of the Star of India Orange is the prettiest example of the family’s preference for distinctive, historically significant colours. If we discuss the original 134 Star of India Phantom, it has innovative features for its time, including the headlights that turned with the steering wheel, a technology similar to the adaptive curve lights found in many cars today. The new Star of India Phantom adds deep historical value to the family’s already magnificent collection.
