Rolls-Royce showcases ‘Pebble Beach Collection’ 2022 at MCW

Rolls-Royce joins the assembly of car brands that gathered at the 2022 Monterey Car Week which includes Aston Martin, who introduced the new V12 Vantage Roadster; Kia, with its EV6 GT; and McLaren, who unveiled the Solus GT.

The UK-based automotive marque, on the other hand, presented its “Pebble Beach Collection” 2022, a colorful and exclusive convocation of Rolls-Royce commissions.

Designers from the esteemed British car brand prepared exclusive Bespoke commissions to be displayed throughout Monterey Car Week. Two of the bespoke builds, a Black Badge Cullinan and a Ghost, wear never-before-seen colors and finishes from Goodwood.

“Rolls-Royce is Bespoke, and color plays a crucial role. The world’s premier luxury marque offers 44,000 shades for exterior finish and if a client can’t find exactly what they have envisioned, our color experts in Goodwood will match any shade to create a ‘Bespoke Signature Named’ color finish,” said Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Head of Bespoke Jonathan Simms.

“We have matched colors from flower petals to shades of lipstick and incorporated gold, silver, and even diamonds into Bespoke finishes. We welcome creative and technological challenges from our patrons as it drives us to redefine our own creative and technical limits. The inspiration for Rolls-Royce color and finish is limited only by one’s imagination,” he added.

The abovementioned Black Badge Cullinan dons a Forbidden Pink finish. The fancy floral hue — used for the first time in a Rolls-Royce — is a bold reminder that Black Badge need not be black. In keeping with its stereotype-defying design, this Black Badge Cullinan features an interior with bright Grace White hand-crafted leather subtly offset by Cashmere Grey highlights. Lime Green leather details add the perfect amount of color to the interior design.

As the rear tailgate opens like the clasp on a fine piece of jewelry, the Bespoke Viewing Suite emerges from Cullinan’s luggage compartment. The iconic feature, for the first time in Peony Pink leather, provides the perfect seat for any Monterey Car Week event.

Meanwhile, the Rolls-Royce Ghost boasts an exterior paint in Crystal over Sagano Green. Created with six layers of finish, highly skilled artisans from the marque’s Exterior Surface Finish Center spent hours meticulously hand-polishing each layer. Before the final two clear coatings are completed, the Crystal finish is applied with minute particles of color specks to create a lustrous, multi-dimensional shimmer on Ghost’s post-opulent design.

Running the length of the exterior is a hand-applied coachline that beautifully complements the pinstripe tires on gloss black painted wheels. The hand-polished exterior is inspected in a specially designed light booth to ensure a perfect finish before this Ghost was delivered to Monterey.

The two Rolls-Royce models were displayed together with the Phantom Series II “Maverick.”

The commissions are offered exclusively through authorized Rolls-Royce Motor Cars retailers.
