In a world of luxury cars painted in endless shades of silver, Rolls-Royce stands out from the rest. The chic brand has just revealed the Spirit of Expression, a series of three special versions for China, one of which features white wall tires.
That would be the lavender Ghost Extended sedan, nicknamed “Expressionism.” Rolls-Royce labels the color Boraclay Blue, so named in reference to the island of Boraclay in the Philippines. The company says it was inspired by the “unique hues seen during the transition from sunset to dusk, when the sky appears to become one with the Sulu Sea.” Frankly, we’re just glad it’s not money.
The custom build rides on 21-inch wheels and for a touch of old-school style, there are narrow white stripes on the sidewalls of the tires. It’s not quite the golden age of the 1950s, but for a modern ultra-low profile tire it stands out. If the lime green and black interior colors bore you, spend a few hours and score points in the lavish greenhouse. Rolls-Royce tells us there are 104,268 in the Ghost’s four doors alone. Our condolences to the person who had to count them.
There are even more colors with Escapism, a two-tone orange/gray Specter. It’s actually a shade of red called Lantana, named after the Lantana flower found in South America. It doesn’t have white wall tires, but the big two-door rides on huge 23-inch seven-spoke wheels. Like the Ghost, curious colors abound within, with purple and gray being the main shades. The orange stitching provides some contrast, and while we’re not sure how many are in the door, Rolls-Royce says there are 960 fiber optic lights in the Starlight headliner.
The last car in this trio is called Magnetism. This is a Phantom Extended, combining a bluish gray shade called Cala Luna Sand with Kabira Blue for the roof. Dare we say, it’s the quietest vehicle in this group, but that still means over 1,000 lights for the headliner and over 43,000 dots for a waterfall-themed pattern on the back. inside the car.
Rolls-Royce says these are the first bespoke cars ordered through the company’s special office in Shanghai. Each is aimed at a customer in China, but before that happens, they will be on display at this year’s Auto China show in Beijing, which is expected to begin later this week.
