Each year, automotive enthusiasts gather at the prestigious Festival of Speed to celebrate motorsport. This event takes place in the magnificent grounds of the historic Goodwood House, located near the Home of Rolls-Royce. For Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, this event is always important, and this year is particularly significant as it will mark the first display of their all-electric luxury super coupé, Spectre, at the Festival of Speed. Spectre is highly anticipated and represents a transformative moment for the brand. Alongside Spectre, Rolls-Royce will also showcase a captivating collection of motor cars created exclusively for this year’s festival.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars will have a contemporary presence at this year’s Festival of Speed. A stunningly commissioned Phantom, Ghost, Cullinan, and Spectre will be displayed on the Festival’s Laundry Green, near Goodwood House. Each car will demonstrate the brand’s unparalleled craftsmanship. This year’s festival is also significant as Rolls-Royce celebrates 20 years of production at the Home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood.

Rolls-Royce Spectre

In 2021, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars made a historic announcement by introducing Spectre, an all-electric super coupé. This marked the brand’s commitment to electric technology, with a plan to make their entire portfolio fully electric by 2030. Spectre has undergone rigorous testing, covering a distance of 2.5 million kilometers. Last October, the car was unveiled at the Home of Rolls-Royce in West Sussex, and received positive feedback from opinion leaders worldwide. The first customer deliveries are expected in the fourth quarter of 2023. This year’s Festival of Speed will showcase Spectre for the first time, featuring a two-tone Chartreuse and Black Diamond finish. The car’s exterior is enhanced by twenty-three-inch wheels, a unique addition to a two-door coupé in nearly a century. The interior includes chartreuse appointments and a calming color palette of Grace White and Peony Pink.

Aside from its display, Rolls-Royce Spectre will participate in the famous Hillclimb at Goodwood.

Rolls-Royce Phantom

Phantom Extended represents the epitome of luxury, boasting an exquisite interior suite, impressive design, and extensive personalization options. This car will occupy a prominent place on the Festival’s Laundry Green, showcasing the brand’s commitment to extraordinary craftsmanship. The inspiration for this commission came from the world of yachting, a passion shared by many Rolls-Royce clients. The car features a Submariner Blue exterior, reminiscent of the deep ocean hues. Inside, the nautical theme continues with a Navy finish for the steering wheel, seat belts, and front interior, while the rear interior boasts a Selby Grey finish with Sunset stitching. Phantom also offers a unique Gallery, allowing patrons to display their favorite artworks. For this yachting-inspired commission, an embroidered gallery resembling yacht rigging has been created. Rolls-Royce will also present a bespoke luggage collection in Navy and White, complementing the nautical theme.

Rolls-Royce Cullinan

The highly skilled artisans, designers, and engineers at Rolls-Royce drew inspiration from the pop-art movement of the 1950s and 1960s to create a unique expression of the Cullinan for this year’s Festival. Finished in Gunmetal, with a double Coachline and Coachline Motif in Phoenix Red and Serenity Green, this expression exemplifies contemporary luxury combined with unrivaled craftsmanship. The interior showcases a geometric Red pattern throughout, showcasing the extensive bespoke capabilities of the brand. Striking Red brake callipers harmonize with the Phoenix Red Coachline and enhance the car’s exterior presence.

Rolls-Royce Ghost

The latest iteration of Rolls-Royce Ghost will be showcased at the Festival of Speed in a stylish expression. Presented in Iced Arctic White, this car radiates luxury, style, and grace. The exterior design demonstrates the brand’s surface expertise, while the interior appointments in Black and Iceland Moss create a vibrant aesthetic. The Mandarin seat piping adds a touch of color. Additionally, a Rolls-Royce Ghost in Salamanca Blue has been chosen as the Course Car, and a Cullinan in Dark Emerald will serve as the Safety Car.
