# Futuristic Luxury Coupe Concepts The 2050 Rolls-Royce Phantom Has a Purposefully Old School Design By Michael Hines | Published 2017-07-18 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2050-rollsroyce-phantom References: [carbuzz](http://www.carbuzz.com/news/2017/7/17/The-Radical-Rolls-Royce-Phantom-Of-The-Future-Could-Look-Like-This-7740156/) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/54654205/2050-Rolls-Royce-Phantom) Industrial designer Matthew Parsons has imagined what the [luxury car of the future](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-century) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spectre) 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 Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Futuristic Luxury Car Design:** Opportunity for designers to create luxury cars that combine modern interiors with a vintage, old world aesthetic. - **Timeless Automotive Elegance:** Potential for car manufacturers to reintroduce classic, boxy designs with modern technology for a nostalgic yet luxurious appeal. - **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. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive Design:** Designers and engineers can explore innovative ways to incorporate vintage elements into modern luxury car designs. - **Luxury Car Manufacturing:** Opportunity for car manufacturers to create luxury vehicles that blend classic aesthetics with cutting-edge technology. - **Industrial Design:** Insights for industrial designers interested in combining past and future elements to create visually striking products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Luxury Super-Coupes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rolls-royce.md) - [Style-Refined Luxury Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantom-series.md) - [Dark-Themed Luxury Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Dark-Themed-Luxury-cars.md) - [Luxe Wood-Accented Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollsroyce-amethyst-droptail.md) - [Dragon-Honoring Luxurious Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantom-extended.md) - [Opulent Americana EV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lincoln-model-l100-concept.md) - [Moon Halo-Inspired Premium Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spectre-lunaflair.md) - [Ultra-Luxury Coupe Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-century.md) - [Bespoke Cherry Blossom Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollsroyce-phantom-cherry-blossom.md)
