Futuristic Luxury Coupe Concepts

The 2050 Rolls-Royce Phantom Has a Purposefully Old School Design

— July 18, 2017 — Autos
Industrial designer Matthew Parsons has imagined what the luxury car of the future would look like with the 2050 Rolls-Royce Phantom concept. The car was inspired by the Rolls-Royce Vision Next 100, a concept created by BMW which is the parent company of Rolls-Royce. Since Parson's Phantom was designed for the year 2050 it's a bit less futuristic in design than the Next 100.

In fact, the 2050 Rolls-Royce Phantom may look out of place in 33 years with its boxy look,and that may be by design. It's very likely the folks running Rolls-Royce in the future will want their cars to exude old world class and luxury. The cabins will be modern but the outside will need to look like a big and beefy luxury car from yesteryear. The 2050 Rolls-Royce Phantom seems to fit that bill.
Trend Themes
1. Futuristic Luxury Car Design - Opportunity for designers to create luxury cars that combine modern interiors with a vintage, old world aesthetic.

3. Future of Rolls-royce - Insight into Rolls-Royce's long-term vision, highlighting the company's commitment to maintaining its reputation for class and luxury.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive Design - Designers and engineers can explore innovative ways to incorporate vintage elements into modern luxury car designs.
2. Luxury Car Manufacturing - Opportunity for car manufacturers to create luxury vehicles that blend classic aesthetics with cutting-edge technology.
3. Industrial Design - Insights for industrial designers interested in combining past and future elements to create visually striking products.
