To Obtain the First US Rolls-Royce Spectre, Michael Fux Had to Purchase Two

Michael Fux, an avid car collector with over 100 vehicles in his collection, now owns at least 15 Rolls-Royces, one of which is the first-ever Rolls-Royce Spectre delivered in the US. This marks Fux’s third electric vehicle, joining his Hummer and Tesla Plaid. While he was also supposed to receive the first Hispano Suiza Carmen Boulogne in the US, the car was never delivered.

First Rolls-Royce Spectre Michael Fux

Among his collection of customized Rolls-Royces, including an orange Cullinan, Blue Candy Dawn, and Green Jade Pearl Wraith, Fux has twelve bespoke colors, with the most popular being Fuxia. However, the Spectre he acquired is surprisingly understated, featuring a Tempest Grey exterior, standard seven-spoke, 23-inch wheels, and a white leather interior with yellow piping.

Although this is only Fux’s third electric vehicle, the Spectre is his most expensive. Starting at $422,750, the price increases with additional options. Comparatively, the Hummer EV Edition 1 costs just over $112,000, and the Model S Plaid is priced at approximately $91,380 before incentives.

Fux is fortunate to be the first owner of the Spectre in the US. According to outgoing CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos, the waitlist for the Spectre is at least 15 months, which means potential buyers will have to wait until 2025 for delivery.
