2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre Configurator Will Make You Realize That Being Rich Takes A Lot Of Work

Rolls-Royce has finally taken the wraps off its first all-electric motorcar, and that means it’s time to close your exquisitely crafted rosewood office door, tell your assistant to hold your calls, and play with the fancy, new Spectre configurator.

To be honest, I didn’t realize that being rich was quite this much work. There are primary colors, secondary colors, pinstripe colors, and ornament styles to consider, and then they all have to be considered against the interior of the 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre! It’s a lot to balance, especially if you don’t want to look like a color-clashing fool at your next private club meeting.

Unfortunately, that’s all made much more difficult by Rolls-Royce, which offers 12 “Standard” colors and a further 17 “Commissioned Collection” colors, and then the same number of contrast hues for the second-tone roof. You could, I suppose, make your life simpler by only selecting one color, if you don’t mind owning the drabbest Spectre in the valet line.

Then, there are the six choices of 23-inch wheels (four “part polished” and two “fully polished”) two choices of hood ornament, and a similarly vast selection of colors for the coachline pin striping, which can either be painted on the fender or the side of this new electric car.

And we haven’t even gotten to the interior! Inside, you can choose between 20 primary and secondary upholstery colors, as well as 21 tertiary colors that define the color of the piping and other highlights. On top of all that, you also have to pick from nine trim colors (seven open pore wood grains and two high gloss materials).

You also have to pick your clock color, whether or not you want the starlight doors (but let’s be honest, you do), what color you want the top of the dash to be, whether you want the steering wheel to match the trim or not, what color the dials should be, and what color the lambswool floor mats should be.

It’s a lot to keep straight, and it’s a very serious endeavor for owners. For me, though, it offers enough freedom to ask how various fictional characters would spec their cars. Batman would, of course, go all black with yellow highlights, but the Joker could also have his own purple and green Spectre. Spider-Man can have a red, white, and blue car, meanwhile, and Kim Kardashian is doubtless already working on an all gray model.

But how would you spec your Spectre if you had the means?
