Yohan Poonawalla’s New Rolls Royce Phantom VIII EWB

The video showing Yohan Poonawalla’s latest Rolls Royce Phantom VIII EWB has been shared on Instagram by Automobili Ardent on their page. In this short video, we can note the beautifully specced-out Rolls Royce Phantom VIII EWB, custom-ordered by Yohan Poonawalla himself. He has chosen the extremely unique and beautiful shade of Bohemian Red.

He has also chosen the elite-looking solid gold Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament and 22-inch brushed silver dish plate alloy wheels. Another unique detail of Yohan’s new Rolls Royce Phantom VIII EWB is that he has opted for a custom-painted “P,” representing Poonawalla, on the rear quarter panels. This luxury sedan also gets an illuminated grille, starlight headlights, and a ton of other exquisite options.

As per the post, Yohan Poonawalla’s Phantom VIII EWB has also been optioned with a special privacy suite. For those who may not be aware, the privacy suite option adds a partition between the driver and the passengers sitting in the rear section for added privacy. This option was recently discontinued by Rolls Royce.

However, Yohan Poonawalla specially requested to have this in his car. Most likely, this new Rolls Royce Phantom VIII EWB ordered by Poonawalla has become the most expensive car in India. Prior to this, the crown for this was given to Nita Ambani’s Rolls Royce Phantom VIII EWB, which was specially commissioned by her with a ton of unique design elements.
