ROLLS-ROYCE MOTOR CARS HIGHLIGHTS
BESPOKE COLOR AND INSPIRED WRAITH AT
PEBBLE BEACH
13 August 2015, Pebble Beach, California
In 2014, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars unveiled a stunning 2015 Phantom Drophead Coupé
featuring a striking Mandarin interior on the Concept Lawn at Pebble Beach Concours
d’Elegance. The car was bought by a collector and immediately whisked away to his
collection. The car was a creation of the Rolls-Royce Bespoke Design Team in North
America to highlight the trend in collectors seeking unique and exciting colour
combinations. During this year’s festivities surrounding the 2015 Monterey Motorsports
Week and Concours d’Elegance, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars will highlight its Bespoke
offerings with a colourful selection of its line-up including the global introduction of the
final piece of the Wraith ‘Inspired Specification’ Series, Rolls-Royce Wraith ‘Inspired by
Music.’
This year, the world’s most exclusive luxury brand is featuring a stunning line-up at
‘The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering,’ showcasing a taste of the 44,000+ colors offered
on any Rolls-Royce motor car to give guests a glimpse into the Bespoke color,
material and design capabilities on the exterior and interior of the finest motor cars in
the world. In addition to a beautiful Wraith in St. James Red and Ghost in Salamanca
Blue, the brand is delivering a custom Bespoke Rolls-Royce Phantom to renowned
auto collector Mr. Michael Fux.
Mr. Fux’s Phantom is presented in his namesake Bespoke colour, ‘Fux Intense Jade
Pearl.’ The interior is appointed in the highest quality leather in a vibrant color theme

matching green throughout the front and rear compartments. More than a year of
Bespoke color design has gone into this ‘One-of-One’ work of art that complements
Mr. Fux’s Bespoke Wraith commissioned in 2014, and his collection of seven stunning
Rolls-Royce motor cars.
2015 festivities also include the first ever public gathering of all three Wraith ‘Inspired
Specification’ cars; Film, Fashion – and in its debut – Music. The three exquisite
specifications were designed to highlight the Bespoke potential of the brand, and
feature inspirational options for Rolls-Royce motor car owners including colors and
never before seen design methods.
Wraith ‘Inspired by Film’
Wraith ‘Inspired by Film’ celebrates Rolls-Royce’s long heritage in film and its entry
into the BFI National Archive hinting gently at the (film) noir with a number of unique
Bespoke touches. The art of the silver screen is reflected through the classic two-tone
Silver and Jubilee Silver paint scheme, a solid-silver hand-cast Spirit of Ecstasy and
an Anthracite leather interior accented with Casden Tan.
Wraith ‘Inspired by Film’ made its debut at the 2015 New York Auto Show and arrives
on the Monterey Peninsula after a recent tour through New York and Los Angeles.
Wraith ‘Inspired by Fashion’
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and the world of Haute Couture have long been bound by a
common philosophy – to take the very finest materials and craft them into the most
exquisite and desirable luxury goods, appointed to the customer’s exact specifications.
In this spirit, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars unveiled Wraith ‘Inspired by Fashion’ in May at a
premier fashion and design conference hosted by the Pratt Institute.
Wraith ‘Inspired by Fashion’ two-tone exterior scheme of Andalusian White and Arctic
White offers a neutral setting for a choice of accent colors, namely Jasmine, Tailored
Purple or Mugello Red. Upon opening Wraith’s coach-doors, you will find the car’s
classic Arctic White and Black interior color scheme. Beyond the traditional placement
of embroidered headrests, seat stitching and piping, the accent color has found an

elegant new application via a striking two-tone steering wheel, the lining of the front
and rear door pockets with fine silks adorned with an abstract representation of the
Spirit of Ecstasy and colorful welting on the door panel. Finished with a lacquered
wood dashboard, taking nine days to painstakingly complete, ties the complete motor
car together creating a stylish Bespoke statement.
Wraith ‘Inspired by Music’
Making its North American debut at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the Wraith
‘Inspired by Music’ is the final piece of the Inspired Specification series. The color and
trim pay homage to the music industry, celebrating a long and well-documented
relationship between icons of the music industry and the marque.
A Lyrical Copper exterior paint finish, presented with a blend of brushed and polished
textures elegantly hints at the use of copper in only the very best audio systems. On
opening the car’s coach-doors attention is drawn to re-imagined speaker grilles, here
presented in copper theme, and engraved with the words ‘Bespoke Audio’. The door
panniers and floor mats have been crafted from finely-woven leather to add an
additional depth of tactility to the car’s interior cabin. Copper-colored door inserts,
which start at the front of the cabin before tapering at the rear, have been included in
the design to emphasise Wraith’s characteristic internal curves.
A book matched copper finish features for the first time on Wraith’s fascia, boldly
extending the car’s theme. The same copper tone extends to Wraith’s signature seat
bullets.
Rolls-Royce Bespoke Audio
Since the launch of Wraith in 2013, customers have been able to commission their
Rolls-Royce Wraith with Bespoke Audio, the most exhaustively designed sound
system in automotive history. Like every element of a Rolls-Royce motor car, its
construction blends the finest components with the skill of the most eminent experts in
their fields. Now, with Wraith ‘Inspired by Music’, these characteristics, and the
precious materials used in the Bespoke Audio system, are brought very much to the

fore, creating ‘the most exclusive music venue’ that delivers an unrivalled aural
experience.
The Bespoke Audio system was created from scratch by a team of the world’s very
best automotive audio engineers. The two-year development process saw the team
work closely with Rolls-Royce interior designers to ensure the system was perfectly
tuned to the interior of the cabin. Indeed, this pursuit of aural perfection was deemed
so important the interior designers had to consult with the Chief Audio Engineer before
making any changes.
The extraordinary clarity of sound and dynamic range is delivered via a 1300W, 18
channel system comprising two highly powerful bass speakers, seven tweeters and
seven mid range speakers. Two ‘exciter’ speakers hand-fitted in the car’s headlining
play a vital role in bringing the sound to the listener at ear-level; ensuring the output
perfectly imitates the way music is experienced in a live setting. Microphones
constantly monitor ambient and exterior noises and will adjust volume and tone
settings automatically to ensure no external agent detracts from the user’s listening
pleasure.
Each unique Wraith ‘Inspired Specification’ model is available for Bespoke
commissioning at any of Rolls-Royce’s 41 North American retail dealerships. Rolls-
Royce Wraith has been instrumental in propelling Rolls-Royce Motor Cars to its fifth
consecutive year of record sales in 2014, topping 4,000 units for the first time. The
company continues to invest in design and production to deliver the world’s ultimate
super-luxury hand-crafted Bespoke motor cars.
