Rolls-Royce has introduced a trio of Bespoke commissions: Phantom Extended, Black Badge Cullinan, and Black Badge Spectre. Conceived through the exclusive Private Office Shanghai, these one-of-a-kind vehicles cater to clients seeking deeply personal expressions of craftsmanship and design.
Each car features an exclusive exterior color inspired by Chinese landscapes and culture.
Unifying the trio is a recurring design motif, Silken Spirit, created by Bespoke Designer Shuai Feng. Referencing the Spirit of Ecstasy and imperial silk, the motif appears throughout, most notably in the hand-painted Gallery of the Phantom Extended.
The mural art of the Dunhuang Mogao Caves stands as one of China’s most enduring cultural symbols. Created over centuries, these sacred works reflect the spiritual and artistic ideals that shaped Chinese civilization. Inspired by their vivid colors, forms, and symbolism, Rolls-Royce reinterprets these themes through hand-painted elements and refined Bespoke features—offering a modern, elegant tribute to this ancient legacy.
More than a thousand years ago, artisans carved and painted the sacred Mogao Caves near Dunhuang, on the edge of the Gobi Desert. Positioned at a major hub along the ancient Silk Road, these caves became one of the world’s richest collections of mural art. Today, Rolls-Royce pays tribute to this legacy through a stunning modern interpretation.
PHANTOM EXTENDED
This Phantom Extended is finished in a striking two-tone colorway. The body is painted Ningye Purple, a deep violet hue inspired by the skies above the remote stretches of the Great Wall of China and named after a poetic verse from the Tang Dynasty (circa 800 AD). The upper body contrasts in English White, while the Silken Spirit motif is hand-painted on the C-pillar and traced into the Grace White coachline.
Inside, the theme continues with a Bespoke Starlight Headliner featuring 1,344 individually placed fiber-optic “stars” and 192 “shooting stars.” The Gallery centerpiece is a hand-painted mural on black leather, embroidered with the Silken Spirit motif in black and white thread, evoking apsaras — celestial beings featured prominently in Buddhist art.
The seating is crafted from Black and Cashmere Gray leather, with the front seats in reverse colors to create a dynamic, dual-environment cabin. Canadel wood paneling in Piano Black and Cashmere Gray appears on the front and rear doors. The Silken Spirit motif is inlaid in stainless steel on the rear doors and the waterfall section between the back seats.
BLACK BADGE CULLINAN
This Black Badge Cullinan Series II stands out in Danqian Pink, including matching accents on the 23-inch forged Black Badge wheels. The Silken Spirit motif appears in black on both the twin coachline and C-pillar.
The front cabin features Blushing Pink leather with Placed Perforation, a design inspired by the ever-changing cloud formations above the Rolls-Royce home in Goodwood. The intricate pattern is made up of over 107,000 perforations measuring 0.03 and 0.05 inches in diameter.
In the rear, Navy leather with Blushing Pink piping creates a more intimate atmosphere. The Silken Spirit is again rendered in stainless steel on the Technical Fiber fascia and between the rear seats.
A Bespoke Starlight Headliner unifies the front and rear themes with an abstract, softly glowing Silken Spirit motif in Blushing Pink, complemented by white shooting stars.
BLACK BADGE SPECTRE
Bold and dynamic, this Black Badge Spectre is finished in a two-tone Aero palette. The body is painted Qingshan Blue, drawn from the mountain blues and green hues seen in Dunhuang mural landscapes. The upper body and Silken Spirit accents appear in Diamond Black, while the grille glows with a dramatic Turchese illumination.
Inside, the front seats are upholstered in Turchese and Black leathers, while the rear seats are finished in Black with contrasting white piping. This dual-tone theme continues in the center console and lambswool carpets, split between Turchese and Black.
Illuminated Treadplates display the Silken Spirit motif in glowing Turchese. Additional lighting features include Starlight Doors and a Bespoke Starlight Headliner, again featuring 1,344 stars and 192 shooting stars, each placed by hand.
A LASTING LEGACY
The Chinese Mural Art Bespoke Collection represents more than automotive design — it’s a cultural dialogue between past and present, East and West, tradition and innovation. Through this trio, Rolls-Royce honors the enduring beauty of ancient Chinese artistry, transforming it into a contemporary expression of luxury and craftsmanship.
These commissions demonstrate the depth and creativity possible through Bespoke design and invite future collaborations exploring other cultures, heritage, and artistic legacies with the same level of thought, care, and imagination.
