Rolls-Royce Just Proved Why It's 'Not In The Car Business'

Rolls knows intimately how to deliver what those customers want, and this is the latest example: a three-expression series of Spectres honoring the spring that makes us long for winter... so we can experience the blossoms that come after.

The car is called the Rolls-Royce Spectre Inspired by Primavera, using the Italian word for spring, referring to the season obviously and not the company's air suspension. Rolls-Royce describes the series of models as being "a poetic exploration" of the season, with three different interpretations. The three are called Evanescent, Reverie, and Blossom; each one takes a slightly different approach through colors, but all have the same artistic vibe.

Luminous beauty is the theme of the Evanescent line. These are painted in Crystal over Arctic White, which is a two-tone so subtle we're not sure we can spot the differences. The cherry blossom coachline is painted in a color called Turchese, the Italian name for turquoise. Much of the interior is finished in a matching leather with Chartreuse piping, and the wheel centers and brake calipers are also Turchese.

Rolls says this one is inspired by "the unruly beauty of wildflowers, which fill the fields, woods and hedgerows with their vibrant colors." Though one would expect a few more colors to match a field of wildflowers.

Reverie is inspired by "the spiritual significance of spring," awakening after a long winter. It's painted in a bold Duck Egg Blue with a Forge Yellow pinstripe and cherry blossom. While this one uses Forge Yellow on the brakes and as an interior accent, the seats are instead accented with a subtle Charles Blue.

Then there's the pink one. Sorry, it's not pink but Blossom, as Rolls calls it, with Velvet Orchid Metallic paint. The exterior accents are Forge Yellow on this one as well, with Peony Pink accents on the seats matched with more yellow.

There are more cherry blossoms in each car, including on the light-up door sills and the headrests. Each car has a center console etched with a larger blossoming cherry bough. Rolls used 37 different lasers to create the contrast against the polished wood.

Forget The Headliner, Rolls-Royce Is Doing Starlight Doors Now

Even the doors are spring-themed. The 4,796 hand-placed lights in the Starlight Doors panels, which have overtaken the Starlight Headliner as the brand's coolest feature, are meant to depict Boötes, Leo and Virgo, called "the spring triangle."

Each of the Spectres will be unchanged mechanically. The Spectre EV offers 577 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque from its electric motors. The total range is 264 miles, at which point you hand the car to your butler for charging.

If you want one of the three designs, Rolls is taking orders right now. Of course, you'll be able to commission slightly different takes on them, because this is Rolls-Royce after all. Deliveries will start, you guessed it, in time for spring 2026. Does that mean each car will become green on June 21 then eventually fade to brown come October?
