The Making of a Rolls-Royce

The current Rolls-Royce lineups includes the Spectre, Cullinan, Ghost (and their Black Badge variants) and the the flagship Phantom. Every car begins its journey in the “Exterior Surface Centre”, where clients can choose from a palette of 44,000 exterior colours or even sort the services of Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective to develop a new Bespoke exclusive colour.

The next phase is the “Interior Trim Centre”, where clients are able to commission not only leather, but fabric interiors as well. From there is the “Interior Surface Centre”, where clients can select from around 30 different wood types, with different stains and treatments.

Clients can also opt for the Starlight Headliner, a spellbinding Bespoke feature that contains between 800 and 1,600 ‘stars’ (optical fibres) and which typically takes nine hours to create, but a personalised pattern can take more than 17 hours to hand-craft.

Gallery Clean Room

There is also a centre at “Home of Rolls-Royce” called the Gallery Clean Room, which was specially built to install works of art within a glass enclosure that spans the full width of the flagship Phantom’s fascia called the Gallery.
