Extremely Detailed Rolls-Royce Wraith Falcon Embroidery Takes Craftsmanship To A New Level

Some of the most personalized cars in the whole world are Rolls-Royces, as for the right amount of money, the people in Goodwood can do some very impressive stuff.

Take this specially commissioned Wraith, for instance, which now wears “the most detailed ever single embroidery to feature in a Rolls-Royce motor car”, according to the automaker. The roofline embroidery portrays a Peregrine Falcon, the fastest bird out there, and was created in-house by a team of designers, craftspeople and engineers over the course of a month, requiring nearly 250,000 stitches.

One of the people who worked on the project, Josh Liles, said: “The design required hours of observation of a Peregrine Falcon – we needed to understand the musculature, the movement, the shading of the feathers. We wanted the bird to adopt an alert and predatory stance. We created multiple iterations of the embroidery – the direction, length and spacing of the stitch can have a great impact on the final image. We purposefully shaped the beak and angled the eye to create a sense of aggression.”

The Falcon embroidery is definitely the most eye-catching feature of this British grand tourer, but it’s not the only customization, as it also boasts an artistic motif on the inside, which can be considered an abstract interpretation of a Falcon wing. Moreover, it has a bespoke clock in Baby Blue with guilloche-inspired detailing, whereas the exterior is finished in Bala Blue and Andalusian White and features the same wing motif in the line that runs across its length.
