Rolls-Royce has created an extraordinary one-off commissions called the Spectre Bailey, a personalized electric luxury coupe inspired by and dedicated to the commissioning clients’ cherished Labrador-Golden Retriever mix named Bailey. This bespoke tribute showcases the brand’s mastery in craftsmanship, personalization, and emotional storytelling through automotive art.
Unique Exterior Design
The Spectre Bailey’s exterior features a custom two-tone paintwork blending “Crystal Fusion” over “Beautiful Bailey,” the latter a unique color inspired by the creamy golden fur of Bailey’s floppy ear. This iridescent finish subtly shifts with changing light. The Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament and the hand-painted Coachline on the shoulder echo Bailey’s paw print in elegant rose gold, making the canine theme an exquisite design motif.
Exquisite Interior Craftsmanship
Inside, the cabin palette reflects shades from Bailey’s fur, combining Moccasin and Crème Light leather with Dark Spice and Casden Tan accents that conjure warm, natural tones. The centerpiece is a profound marquetry portrait of Bailey situated on the wood veneer waterfall between the rear seats. Created with over 180 individual pieces of wood veneer selected for color, grain, and texture (using nine different types of natural wood including rare veneers like Purple Heart and Tulipwood), the artwork took more than four months to complete, symbolizing Bailey’s joyful and loyal spirit.
Bailey’s paw prints recur subtly in other details, including a marquetry inlay on the dashboard and engraved rose gold treadplates on the door sills, weaving the dog’s essence throughout the entire luxury interior.
Bespoke Commission Experience
The Spectre Bailey was commissioned through Rolls-Royce’s exclusive Private Office in New York, a service dedicated to creating highly personalized one-offs that reflect the unique stories and passions of Rolls-Royce’s most loyal clients. Phil Fabre de la Grange, Head of Bespoke, described how the project embodied the power of inspiration drawn from personal connections, turning love for a pet into a timeless automotive masterpiece.

This personalized car is based on the Rolls-Royce Spectre, the brand’s first fully electric model, with a 577-horsepower powertrain delivering silent, smooth, and opulent performance befitting the marque’s standards.
