The ceiling of the $460,000 vehicle is filled with artificial stars. Here's how they made it.
During our recent test drive opportunity with the amazing Rolls-Royce Ghost luxury sedan—a vehicle that feels like a condominium on wheels—the one feature that left passengers awestruck was the car’s Starlight Headliner.
But it is the car’s headliner, the ceiling inside the mammoth sedan, that attracts the attention of anyone fortunate enough to crawl inside the car. The leather lining is perforated with between 1,400 and 1,600 holes that are hand-strung with fiber optic threads that, when illuminated, produce the effect of a star field inside the car.cars at the company’s Goodwood, England headquarters and factory trim each fiber’s end at a unique angle and fit it flush into the surface of the leather.
“Originally it was really only focused on the back cabin,” notes Vetter. “It wasn’t the expanse that it is these days.” Just as glare from the full moon spoils the view of stars at night in the outside world, so would a conventional overhead dome light ruin the effect of the Starlight Headliner. So Rolls-Royce employs the fiber optics to act as a virtual dome light, providing cabin illumination by turning up the brightness of all of them to bathe the car’s interior in all-encompassing light.
