Rolls-Royce has a revised version of Spirit of Ecstasy for the Spectre. Rolls-Royce’s bonnet ornament sculpture is a sliver lady. The revised bonnet ornament sculpture is 0.7 inches shorter, and the company readjusted its flowing robe and legs.
The legs are slightly bent, with one positioned ahead of the other. Rolls-Royce claims that these slight adjustments made the ornament more aerodynamic, which plays a role in the drag coefficient of 0.26cd.
The Spectre’s grille uses environmental reflection to illuminate itself with the help of a relaxed angle and polished stainless steel finish.
The interior of the Spectre is a work of art. It is available with Starlight Doors, which consist of 4,796 softly illuminated lights that resemble stars.
