Rolls-Royce Motor Cars celebrates a highly Bespoke
presence at this year’s Festival of Speed. Displayed on the Festival’s
Laundry Green, adjacent to Goodwood House, a beautifully commissioned
Phantom Extended, Ghost, Spectre, as well as the latest expression of
Cullinan, will each provide a unique expression of the marque’s
peerless craftsmanship.

ROLLS-ROYCE CULLINAN
When Cullinan first launched in 2018,
it built a new legacy for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, with a bold and
uncompromising generation of super-luxury consumers. It reframed
super-luxury motoring, enabling Rolls-Royce clients to experience the
marque’s hallmark ‘magic carpet ride’ on any terrain and in every
corner of the world.

Earlier this year, the marque unveiled Cullinan Series II, an
evolution of the world’s pre-eminent super-luxury SUV. This motor car
makes its UK public debut at the Festival of Speed 2024.

One of the key themes in Cullinan’s evolution is verticality,
which echoes the illuminated skyscrapers in the megacities where
Cullinan is increasingly at home. This is perhaps most apparent in the
new lamp treatment, where tall daytime running light graphics ensure
Cullinan Series II is easily identified, day and night.

The marque’s signature figurine, the Spirit of Ecstasy, features
inside the motor car for the very first time and is displayed in
miniature inside the new Clock Cabinet in the fascia. This unique
inset vitrine displays both an analogue timepiece and the up-lit
Spirit of Ecstasy figurine. Constructed from solid stainless steel,
the Spirit of Ecstasy is placed on her own stage with a matte black
back panel and high gloss side panels to create a reflection effect.

Cullinan Series II illustrates the extensive scope of the
marque’s Bespoke capabilities and talented craftsmanship. For the
first time ever on a series car, Placed Perforation, the practice of
creating artworks through tiny perforations in the leather, is
available. Designers at the marque’s headquarters created a pattern
inspired by the constantly changing shapes and shadows of the clouds
over the Home of Rolls-Royce.Cullinan Series II also continues
Rolls-Royce’s exploration of textiles with a new rayon fabric made
from bamboo, named Duality Twill.

A contemporary expression of Cullinan, finished in a minimalist
yet sophisticated hue, Emperador Truffle, will be on show at the
event. Inspired by richly-veined brown marble, Rolls-Royce colour
specialists developed this unique paint finish especially for Cullinan
Series II. An Arctic White Coachline provides a clean contrast to the
exterior hue. Inside, the elegant yet minimalist style continues, with
a Cashmere Grey and Chartreuse leather colourway, the latter with the
intricate Placed Perforation pattern.

ROLLS-ROYCE SPECTRE
2023 was a momentous year for
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars; it marked 20 years since production began at
the marque’s Goodwood manufacturing facility and, in Q4 of 2023,
client deliveries for Spectre, the marque’s first fully electric motor
car, began. Since then, Spectre has been on a remarkable Bespoke journey.

For this year’s Festival of Speed, a striking expression of the
marque’s electric super coupé has been created. Presented in two-tone
Peony Pearl and Black Diamond, this vibrant expression of the marque’s
genre-defining motor car exudes modern luxury and symbolises the dawn
of a bold new era for Rolls-Royce. To embolden the exterior and
highlight Spectre’s dynamic presence and prowess, 23-inch wheels are
fitted to the motor car. The exterior is completed with a trim, Black
Coachline. Peony Pink and Arctic White are the primary and secondary
interior colours chosen to complement the exterior.

The interior cabin is a celestial cosseting haven, with a
spellbinding Starlight Headliner, Starlight Doors, which incorporate
4,796 softly illuminated ‘stars’, and a tone-on-tone starlight pattern
on the rear waterfall seat. An extra special clock vitrine, delicately
embellished with shooting ‘stars’, creates a serene yet magical essence.

This year marks the 120^th anniversary of the meeting
of The Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls and Henry Royce and, in a gentle nod
to commemorate this significant year, each of the one-of-one Phantom,
Ghost and Spectre motor cars created for the event, features a painted
‘sound wave’ design on the lid of the centre console. Each ‘sound
wave’ conveys a different inspirational quote from the marque’s
founding fathers, whose vision underpins everything that the company
is today and strives to achieve.

Bespoke is Rolls-Royce; an ethos which permeates every
commissioned creation, from exquisite motor cars to luxurious
accessories. This extends from glamorous cellarettes and champagne
chests, to personalised umbrellas and picnic hampers. To complement
the Peony Pearl Spectre, an elegant Escapism Luggage Collection has
been designed and created. Beautiful in form, yet relaxed and
contemporary, this luggage collection is crafted from the highest
quality leather and durable canvas, ideal for those who travel for
enriching experiences and spontaneous moments of discovery.

In addition to Spectre’s presence on the stand, this motor car
will ascend the famous Hillclimb course at Goodwood during the
Festival’s Supercar Run.

ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM
Phantom is an icon of legendary
standing, which defines the barometers of luxury. A masterpiece of
transcendent perfection, Phantom Extended offers tastemakers a serene
and spacious realm to recharge before taking on the world. Its
exquisite features and elevated nuances epitomise Rolls-Royce’s
artisanship, solidifying it as an icon in the marque’s history.

For this year’s Festival of Speed, a modern interpretation of
Rolls-Royce’s pinnacle motor car has been designed and created by the
marque’s highly skilled designers, engineers and artisans. This
magnificent expression is finished in a striking two-tone of Diba Teal
and Black Diamond, with a Black Coachline. Inspiration for this motor
car comes from the French Riviera, a location internationally renowned
for its glamourous lifestyle, unrivalled views and stunning scenery.
There is also a strong connection between the marque and the area; in
1912, Sir Henry Royce built Villa Mimosa in the village of Le Canadel,
where he subsequently spent every winter until his death in 1933.

Phantom offers clients an unprecedented opportunity: a chance to
showcase eclectic works of art, sculpture, or objects of
self-expression in the Gallery. This unique single piece of
uninterrupted glass, spans the entire fascia and means patrons can
enjoy, admire and appreciate their favourite artwork from the
sanctuary of Phantom’s sumptuous cabin. For this year’s commission,
Rolls-Royce’s artisans spent over 35 hours creating a beautiful
monochrome leather Gallery, with an embroidered wave pattern, which
features 47,319 stitches. This pattern is once again a gentle nod to
the French Riviera and is replicated throughout the motor car on the
door card and picnic tables.

Innovation meets exquisite craftsmanship with the Kinetic
Luggage Collection which complements the luxurious motor car.
Presented in Black leather, with Arctic White panelling and Diba Teal
stitching, the collection has been meticulously designed and crafted
by Rolls-Royce’s talented artisans.

ROLLS-ROYCE GHOST
Ghost is a study in reduction, minimalism
and simplicity. Its purity provides the ideal blank canvas for Bespoke
commissions, with clients able to exercise their ambitious creativity
and express their personal tastes almost entirely free of technical
and aesthetic constraints.

That purity presents possibility. It creates potential as
boundless as the owner’s imagination, emboldening them to bring
colour, energy and vibrancy to their commission and to allow beautiful
materials, expert craftsmanship and exquisite details speak for
themselves, subtle and unadorned.

Presented in Blue Crystal over Black, the expression of Ghost
created in honour of the occasion, oozes timeless elegance and
sophistication. A Charles Blue Coachline elegantly resolves the
exterior and illustrates the extensive scope of the marque’s Exterior
Surface Centre.

Beautifully crafted leather Key Wraps have been designed and
created for the Ghost, Phantom and Spectre.
