Three new 'Spirit of Expression' designs from Rolls-Royce were revealed ahead of the Beijing Auto Show. The Spectre, Phantom Extended, and Ghost Extended served as the inspiration for these three commissions. Opening on April 25, 2024, the 18th Beijing International Automotive Exhibition or Auto China 2024 will feature the newest advancements in the automotive sector.

Rolls Royce Spirit of Expression: The Trio

CarBuzz reports that Rolls-Royce has introduced three exclusive one-offs set to debut at the Beijing Auto Show. These bespoke creations mark the initial offerings from the Private Office Shanghai, established by Rolls-Royce last year to deepen its presence in the market and broaden its portfolio in China.

Inspired by the captivating flora and landscapes of renowned global destinations favored by Chinese clientele, these models cater to discerning individuals with a penchant for luxury. While commissioning a bespoke model undoubtedly requires considerable means, it falls slightly short of the prestige associated with acquiring Coachbuild models.

Considering that all three vehicles were custom-made for specific clients, your best chance of acquiring one is through resale. While the automaker has not disclosed pricing details, it's safe to assume that each model fetched a significant premium above their base prices, which already start at well over a quarter-million dollars. All three variants will be showcased at the Beijing auto show, taking place from April 25 to May 4.

Derived from the Ghost Extended, Phantom Extended, and Spectre models, each variation showcases a distinct setting depicted under a night sky theme, complemented by Starlight Headliner interiors. Car and Driver provided additional insights into this development, highlighting the distinct themes assigned to each customized vehicle: Escapism for the Spectre, Expressionism for the Ghost Extended, and Magnetism for the Phantom Extended.

Given that all three were crafted as bespoke creations for individual customers, Rolls-Royce refrained from disclosing pricing details, although it's undoubtedly expected that they commanded prices far exceeding their respective model's base prices.

Each model features a theme tied in with its name, with colors inspired by real-world locations.

The Escapism Spectre

The Spectre showcases a dual-tone exterior, combining a vivid Lantana Red with a complementary Tempest Grey hue. The central elements of the Spectre's 23-inch wheels are coated in Lantana Red to harmonize with the body color. Enhancing the customized exterior themes is an illuminated Spirit of Ecstasy emblem adorning the hood. Inside the Escapism Spectre, the interior is equally remarkable, featuring three distinct leather shades evoking imagery of tropical sunsets.

The Magnetism

As reported by CarBuzz, the "Magnetism" concept, based on the Phantom Extended model, aims to capture the atmosphere of a Sicilian beach bay beneath the night sky. Its exterior boasts a two-tone finish, blending Cala Luna Sand and Kabira Blue to symbolize the horizon where the sea meets the night sky, accentuated by a pinstripe of Arctic White and Cala Luna Sand.

The Expressionism

As per Autoevolution, the Ghost Extended model, named 'Expressionism,' showcases a striking Boracay Blue exterior adorned with a hand-painted Lime Green coachline. Its presence is further elevated by semi-polished 21-inch alloy wheels, boasting Orbit Grey centers and Lime Green pinstripes, which are complemented by White pinstripe tires.

Inside, a blend of Black and Arctic White leather, accented with Lime Green detailing, creates a captivating ambiance. The headliner is adorned with 520 Lime Green and 520 White 'stars,' alongside eight white 'shooting stars,' adding a celestial touch to the interior aesthetic.
