Rolls-Royce Reveals 'Spirit of Expression' Trio of Bespoke Ultraluxury Cars
Rolls-Royce unveiled three new 'Spirit of Expression' bespoke creations ahead of the Beijing auto show.
The customized vehicles have unique themes: a Spectre labeled Escapism, a Ghost Extended labeled Expressionism, and a Phantom Extended labeled Magnetism.
As all three were made as bespoke creations for individual customers, Rolls-Royce didn't reveal pricing, but they surely fetched quite a bit more than their respective model's base prices.
Rolls-Royce makes some of the most legendary luxury cars money can buy, but what if you want to go above and beyond the standard lineup? That's where the manufacturer's bespoke division comes in to make your automotive fantasies a reality. Rolls-Royce unveiled three such vehicles as part of a "Spirit of Expression" collection, revealed ahead of the Beijing auto show.
The collection features three models: a Spectre labeled Escapism, a Ghost Extended labeled Expressionism, and a Phantom Extended labeled Magnetism. Each model features a theme tied in with its name, with colors inspired by real-world locations.
The Spectre features a two-tone finish, pairing a striking Lantana Red with a contrasting Tempest Grey. The centerpieces on the Spectre's 23-inch wheels are painted Lantana Red to match the body. Customized themes for the exterior are rounded out with an illuminated Spirit of Ecstasy ornament on the hood. The interior of the Escapism Spectre is just as impressive as the exterior, with three separate leather colors calling thoughts of tropical sunsets to mind.
The Expressionism Ghost Extended is finished in a wondrously vivid color Rolls-Royce calls Boracay Blue, though we're convinced the color is more lilac than blue. According to the automaker, the paint captures the colors seen as sunset transitions to twilight over Boracay Island in the Philippines. It's accentuated by a hand-painted coachline extending from the Ghost's headlights to its taillights.
The Ghost's interior focuses on black and Arctic white leather, which is accented by a vivid lime green. According to the automaker, the door pockets feature alternating stitch patterns to create a three-dimensional effect. The design element uses 104,268 stitches across all four doors. The headliner has 520 lime green and 520 white "star" lights and an additional eight shooting stars.
Despite being the flagship model of the three, the Magnetism Phantom Extended may be the most understated of the series. The exterior is painted in a two-tone job featuring Cala Luna Sand and Kabira Blue with a double coachline in Arctic White and Cala Luna Sand.
Inside, the Magnetism Phantom Extended is anything but understated. The starlight headliner has 768 Galileo Blue and 576 White hand-placed 'stars' with an additional eight shooting stars. Front and rear reclining seats are wrapped in Blue Grey, Navy Blue, and Arctic White leather with additional contrasting Arctic White stitching. The doors feature an open-pore Obsidian Ayous wood veneer.
The standard center instrument panel on the dash is replaced with a piece of artwork comprising 43,096 individual stitches in Arctic White on Navy Blue. The same style makes its way onto the dashboard in front of the passenger.
Considering all three vehicles were created for individual customers, your only hope of getting one is through resale. The automaker didn't reveal pricing, but we can confidently say that each model sold for considerably more than their sticker prices, which begin well over a quarter-million dollars on the low end. All three models will be on display at the Beijing auto show from April 25 to May 4.
