Among the many benefits awarded to Rolls-Royce buyers by the carmaker is the possibility to fully customize their car to their precise specification, both inside and out. Take this Royal Blue Wraith for example, commissioned through Rolls-Royce Abu Dhabi. It wears the moniker ‘Inspired by Earth’ and it features a bespoke air-brushed artwork depicting the Middle East as seen from space.
The overall theme actually draws
inspiration from the entire Solar System, with the hand-painted coachline
featuring the Sun as well as the Planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus and Neptune).
The Royal Blue exterior paint is meant to
represent 75% of the Earth’s surface, which is covered with water. The Middle
East artwork is found on the hood, and is centered on the UAE – with the
panorama extending across the Red Sea, Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman.
Inside, a focus was put on the Earth’s
surface and its human inhabitants. The seats boast Moccasin leather to mimic
the sands of the Emirates’ deserts, while Navy and Cobalto Blue accents reflect
the rivers and lakes. Then there’s the Emerald Green piping, which is meant to
symbolize nature, and white ‘RR’ monograms that hint at clouds and running
water.
The rear waterfall is particularly
spectacular, with clouds rendered in the embroidery using Photoflash
technology. There’s also the Piano Milori veneer on the fascia, featuring a
very realistic satellite image of the Middle East. As for the Starlight
headliner, it’s been embroidered to show off all the planets of the Solar
System.
Last but not least, there are custom
treadplates, a clock with metal radial background, and inlays depicting the
planets in silver, with the Earth accentuated in gold.
