Exclusive car in honor of a beloved pet
Rolls-Royce has created a unique car for a couple from the United States who decided to honor their beloved pet – a Labrador Retriever dog named Bailey. This special project, known as Spectre Bailey, was developed through the exclusive Private Office Rolls-Royce in New York. The car has become a true embodiment of love for the animal, with numerous personalized details reflecting the dog’s character and appearance.
Wooden portrait as the main feature
The most impressive detail of the interior is Bailey’s portrait, executed in marquetry technique. For its creation, over 180 individual pieces of veneer in 22 different shades were used. This work took more than four months, exceeding the time required to assemble the car itself. The portrait is located between the rear seats and serves as the central design element.
Interior inspired by the dog’s appearance
The color scheme of the cabin repeats the shades of Bailey’s fur. The used leather colors are Moccasin, Creme Light, Dark Spice, and Casden Tan, which harmoniously combine with high-gloss Venetian walnut. To enhance the theme, a paw print is placed on the passenger side dashboard, and similar elements adorn the treadplates with rose gold.
Exterior with pearlescent effect
The exterior of the car is also dedicated to Bailey. The body is painted in Crystal Fusion color with the addition of an individual Beautiful Bailey shade, which imitates the iridescence of the fur on the dog’s whiskers. The body line is decorated with a hand-painted paw print in rose gold color, and the Spirit of Ecstasy figurine also received gilding.
Technical specifications remained standard
Despite the luxurious finishing, the technical components remained unchanged. The car is equipped with an electric power unit with a capacity of 577 hp, and the 120 kWh battery provides a range of up to 266 miles. The owners decided not to choose the more powerful Black Badge version, preferring the standard configuration.
Owners’ anonymity and their statement
The couple who ordered this unique car wished to remain unknown. They shared their impressions:
We have been passionate about cars all our lives, but we also infinitely love animals, and our dog Bailey is a true member of the family. Creating this car, we wanted to make something beautiful that would remind us of him for decades. Collaboration with Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective brought many unexpected ideas that made this project special. Spectre Bailey is a joyful tribute to our faithful friend.
Cost and uniqueness of the project
The exact cost of this individual order is not disclosed, but, given the brand’s reputation, it is significant. For Bailey, however, this car remains only part of his daily environment, without realizing its uniqueness.
Similar projects demonstrate how luxury brands are increasingly adapting to customers’ personal preferences, transforming cars into unique art objects. This also reflects the growing trend of honoring pets through art and design, making such stories particularly close to a wide audience.
