One can only wonder at the final cost of a Rolls-Royce Bespoke model, presumably in the same thought that one might wonder at the expanse of space upon gazing at the Bespoke division’s latest creation. The Rolls-Royce Spectre Lunaflair is a very exclusive and all-electric ode to “the ethereal beauty of a lunar halo”. As far as Bespoke Rolls go, this specially-developed holographic paint will never see use on another Rolls-Royce unless it’s been specifically ordered by the same tasteful American millionaire.
The Spectre Lunaflair’s holographic paint job was inspired by a previous Bespoke model — the Phantom Syntopia which had dark, iridescent paint with a color-shifting pigment. The Lunaflair’s owner wanted something along similar lines but in a lighter “day” version. The paint took over a year of experimentation to get right. To achieve the color-shifting effect, the final paint job is achieved through seven coats of lacquer, including a custom-formulated pearlescent coat with flakes of magnesium fluoride and aluminum.
Adding to the starry look, the most aerodynamic Rolls-Royce ever is specced with Starlight doors — 4,796 individually hand-placed fiber optic strands in the door panels — and the regular Starlight headliner that’s already a Rolls-Royce favorite.
The Spectre Lunaflair does pull off the ethereal look perfectly well — we sure hope the owner takes good care to not scratch it. A touch-up job could have them waiting quite a while for Rolls-Royce to mix up another batch of the special paint.
