Rolls-Royce Spectre configurator will keep you busy for hours

Rolls-Royce just unveiled its first ever electric car, the Spectre. The luxury 585hp car has 520km range and a starting price of the eye watering €420,000 ($413,000) which makes the Cadillac Celestiq look like a bargain. Despite the price and production not starting until the end of next year, according to the company hundreds of Spectre have already been sold.

Spectre has the most important job any Rolls-Royce ever had - to usher the age of electricity into one of the oldest luxury automakers in the world. Not an easy task but in true Goodwood tradition, the Spectre is comes with a mind-boggling number of options and to make the choice a little bit easier, the company launched the Spectre online configurator.

You know it’s not your ordinary car configurator when your color options have 12 main colors and additional 17 fully custom from the Commissioned Collection. If that’s not enough, the Spectre has 31 two-tone choices for the roof, hood and the trunk or you can opt to change the color of the pillars only. And there are color options for the coachline as well.

There are 6 wheel options and for the first time there is a dedicated directional wheel option for the Chinese market. All wheels come in 22-inch size and can be either fully polished or partially polished, color accents are available as well to match the coachline.

The interior is where the customization goes into an overdrive. There are tons of colors available, seats have three distinctive parts that can come in any color of your choosing, the doors can be had in many finishes - wood to match the center console or with the stars lighting up to mimic the roof lining. There are many wooden accents to choose from, tens of colors and pretty much unlimited combinations of them all.

To finish it off, the aerodynamically modified Spirit of Ecstasy can be either fully illuminated or just “Uplit” - in the first instance the Spirit of Ecstasy is made out of frosted crystal, while the latter option leaves her made in steel and a LED ring lights her up from beneath for a more dramatic effect.

If you haven’t got any other plans for lunch, you can spend a good hour playing around with all the options and finding your perfect Spectre specification. It’s not easy, the more options we get the more confusing it gets. It almost makes me feel sorry for those who actually will end up buying one, almost…
