Niels van Roij Design, the creator of the
new bespoke Rolls Royce that will be coachbuilt at Carat by Duchatelet.
Furthermore, they explained that each of the seven Wraith-based Rolls-Royce
Silver Spectre Shooting Brake models that will be built upon order will have
unique elem It is not an official Rolls-Royce model and was instead
commissioned by Niels van Roij Design, with Belgian coachbuilder Carat
Duchatelet handling the manufacturing aspect of the vehicle. The car is
officially dubbed the Carat Duchatelet Silver Spectre Shooting Brake and it is
based around a Rolls-Royce Wraith.
The design comes from the mind of Niels
van Roij Design and the coachbuilder has clearly spent countless hours
transforming the shape of the luxurious two-door. To turn the Wraith into a
Shooting Brake, the coachbuilder has modified the roof and stretched it back
right to the tailgate. There is also a steeply-raked rear window that suits the
character of the Rolls-Royce surprisingly well. Complementing the new roof
design are the elongated side windows that stretch back to the new C-pillars.
Few other exterior modifications appear to
have been made but the car does rock a sophisticated shade of dark red with
various silver and chrome accents, including the window surrounds and the front
grille. The coachbuilder has yet to release interior photos of the Shooting
Brake but we can see the trunk is clad in a mixture of black, white, and red
leather. It appears as though the tri-color leather finish continues throughout
the rest of the cabin. This striking Rolls-Royce was commissioned by the owner
of a Wraith who wanted a Shooting Brake. It remains unclear how much this
initial unit cost but the coachbuilder says it plans on building a total of
seven examples with pricing available only upon request.
The Belgian coachbuilder says that each of
the 7 cars out of the Silver Spectre Shooting Brake line-up will have a unique
design theme including the color schemes for both the interior and exterior,
one-off singular or two-tone exterior paints and pinstripes applied by hand on
the body. Furthermore, they will have
highly polished woods on dashboard and doors, headrest embroidery, personalized
tread plates and colour-matched leather or silk upholstery.
Each of the
seven Silver Spectre Shooting Brake iterations will have an exclusive
tailor-made option, feature or item. “Every piece will only be available on one
of the 7 vehicles,” said Carat Duchatelet. ” The articles range from a picnic
hamper featuring the veneers as applied to the dashboard, to a luggage set
matching with the upholstery and an exclusive timepiece in car-paint
coordinated materials.”ents.
