The BMW Group will have a strong presence this week in Beijing at the Auto China 2024. Not only are the MINI Aceman and updated BMW i4 debuting there, but so are these Rolls-Royce models. What makes them special? Aside from being bespoke commissions, these are the first RR vehicles created by the Private Office Shanghai design studio.
The one-offs are based on the fully electric Spectre coupe and a pair of sedans the flagship Phantom Extended and the smaller Ghost Extended. The trio was a global collaboration between designers at home in Goodwood, UK and a designer permanently based in Shanghai. RR gave fancy names to all three cars: Spectre Escapism, Phantom Extended Magnetism, and Ghost Extended Expressionism.
Starting with the EV, its striking two-tone finish takes after South America s tropics. Spectre combines Lantana Red with Tempest Grey and rides on 23-inch wheels with a seven-spoke, part-polished look. The center caps get a body-matching Lantana Red while the Spirit of Ecstasy is discreetly illuminated.
Stepping inside the two-door cabin, the Spectre offers a mélange of Selby Grey, Purple Silk, and Sunset leathers. The glitzy headliner has no fewer than 960 backlit stars and you ll also notice the purple instrument dials. As a finishing touch, Rolls-Royce installed Obsidian Ayous veneer.
Moving on to the Phantom, the extra-long sedan apparently takes after a magnetic ambiance of a beach bay under the night sky. Marketing fluff aside, the stately saloon also adopts a two-tone look: Cala Luna Sand and Kabira Blue. Rounding off the tweaks on the outside is the Arctic White and Cala Luna Sand double coachline applied manually.
Its interior looks like a work of art with 43,096 stitches across the dashboard along with 768 Galileo Blue and 576 white stars in the headliner. The seats are wrapped in a combination of Blue Grey, Navy Blue, and Arctic White leather with Arctic White stitching for a contrasting effect.
Last but certainly not least, the stretched Ghost has an eye-catching Boracay Blue paint job with a hand-painted Lime Green coachline. The 21-inch wheels are partially polished and come wrapped in tires with retro-flavored white sidewalls.
As with all Rolls-Royce models, the real magic is inside where there are 104,268 stitches across all four door panels. In addition, it s hard to miss the Lime Green accents on the Black and Arctic White leather seats. This one too has a Starlight Headliner, comprised of 520 lime green and another 520 white stars.
The ultra-luxury British marque will have all three bespoke commissions at Auto China 2024 in Beijing from April 25 until May 4.
