It"d be one thing to have stars endorse your new Rolls-Royce. If you designed your Rolls-Royce in tandem with stars, you"d certainly get our attention. Especially if one was part of Pink Floyd. But what about if your new Rolls-Royce wasn"t perfunctorily signed by a star, but painstakingly signed with stars? Yes, there are no fewer than 863 stars in the headlining of this particular Rolls-Royce Wraith.Okay, full disclosure they"re not real stars. That would be rather warm. And we"d assume that the constant nuclear fusion going on inches above your head would get quite tiring after a few miles. Instead, they"re 863 individual fibre optic cables, hand-sewn in the headlining with 60,000 stitches a process that took more than 90 hours. For reference, it takes about 18 hours for Toyota to turn a series of bolts and metal plates into a fully functioning, painted and road-ready Corolla. The project kicked off as a collaboration between Emirati artist Mohammed Kazem and the exceptionally detail-oriented chaps at Rolls-Royce"s Goodwood plant, with the headlining reflecting a very personal touch.
