Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is returning to the Goodwood Festival of Speed with one of its most comprehensive displays in recent years, headlined by the UK public debut of the new Spectre Series II alongside a stunning collection of one-off Bespoke commissions that demonstrate the limitless possibilities of the marque’s craftsmanship.
Located just moments from the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood, the Stable Yard display offers visitors a rare opportunity to experience the latest generation of the company’s handcrafted luxury motor cars where they are designed, engineered and built.
John Beckley, Regional Director for the United Kingdom, Europe and Central Asia, said:
“This year’s Festival of Speed motor cars reflect the breadth of the contemporary Rolls-Royce portfolio, from the UK public debut of Spectre Series II to a series of distinctive Bespoke commissions across Phantom Extended, Ghost Extended and Cullinan. Presented a stone’s throw from the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood, these motor cars demonstrate how design, engineering and Bespoke craftsmanship continue to evolve across every expression of the marque.”
Spectre Series II Makes Its UK Public Debut
Following its global unveiling earlier this year, the Spectre Series II arrives at Goodwood showcasing the latest evolution of Rolls-Royce’s all-electric super coupé.
Building upon the success of the original Spectre, the updated model introduces increased power, extended driving range and an even broader canvas for Bespoke personalisation.
The Festival display model features an elegant Dark Emerald and Black Diamond two-tone finish, complemented by a striking Mandarin coachline and matching brake callipers.
Inside, Rolls-Royce introduces Placed Perforation, transforming premium leather into an artistic surface through intricate perforation patterns inspired by moonlit cloud formations. A new Illuminated Fascia, incorporating more than 8,100 individual lights, draws inspiration from the rolling South Downs surrounding Goodwood.
Black Badge Spectre Series II Pushes the Boundaries
Also taking centre stage is a dramatic interpretation of the Black Badge Spectre Series II, finished in an exclusive Ethereal Blue paintwork contrasted by red brake callipers and Iced Black exterior detailing.
The interior introduces Duality Twill, a contemporary bamboo-derived textile inspired by Mediterranean bamboo groves near Sir Henry Royce’s former winter residence on the French Riviera.
The result is a more expressive interpretation of the most powerful Rolls-Royce ever produced.
Phantom Regatta Celebrates Britain’s Maritime Heritage
Among the most remarkable commissions is Phantom Regatta, a unique Phantom Extended inspired by Britain’s famous south coast sailing traditions and iconic regattas including Cowes Week.
Finished in Regatta Blue over English White, the exterior mirrors the meeting point between a yacht’s hull and the sea.
Inside, handcrafted details recreate the atmosphere of luxury sailing, with deep Navy Blue leather in the front and Grace White rear seating symbolising sea and sail.
Extraordinary craftsmanship is evident throughout the cabin. The picnic tables alone required around 120 hours to complete, each constructed from carefully bookmatched Royal Walnut panels separated by slender Black Bolivar wood inlays to recreate the appearance of traditional yacht decking.
A hand-painted Gallery artwork named Watercolour captures the movement of the sea using specially developed paints and techniques refined over weeks by Rolls-Royce’s in-house artists.
Even hidden details celebrate the marque’s heritage, with engraved geographic coordinates discreetly marking both Goodwood House and the Home of Rolls-Royce.
Ghost Savile Row Pays Tribute to Bespoke Tailoring
The unique Ghost Extended Savile Row commission celebrates Britain’s world-famous tailoring tradition.
Finished in Midnight Sapphire over English White, the exterior reflects the timeless elegance of a navy suit paired with a crisp white shirt.
Inside, Navy Blue, Arctic White and Selby Grey combine with intricate pinstripe-inspired stitching and embroidered seat detailing that mirrors bespoke tailoring techniques.
One of the most impressive hidden features is concealed beneath the rear centre armrest, revealing a colourful embroidery inspired by the courtyard trees at the Home of Rolls-Royce.
The artwork required:
- Seven thread colours
- Nine hours of embroidery
- Around 250,000 stitches
- Nearly 1.83 kilometres of thread
It represents the most technically demanding single-frame embroidery ever created by Rolls-Royce.
Cullinan Bohemian Sunset Inspired by Nature
Completing the Bespoke collection is Cullinan Bohemian Sunset, inspired by the changing colours of the evening sky.
Finished in Iced Silver Haze with Mandarin detailing, the luxury SUV features Seashell leather, bespoke Chevron embroidery and a spectacular Starlight Headliner that transitions from warm orange to deep blue, recreating the colours of dusk.
Black Badge Spectre Heads for the Hillclimb
Away from the Stable Yard, the Black Badge Spectre Series II will demonstrate its performance during the Festival’s celebrated Supercar Run.
Producing 500kW through Infinity Mode and up to 1,100Nm of torque in Spirited Mode, it stands as the most powerful Rolls-Royce ever built, combining effortless electric performance with the distinctive personality of the Black Badge range.
