Rolls-Royce personalizes its clients’ vehicles in astonishing ways, and Alex Hirschi – aka Supercar Blondie – is no exception with her custom Rolls-Royce Spectre.
Alex recently took delivery of the brand’s first-ever electric vehicle.
And the bespoke touches are simply stunning.
The custom Rolls-Royce Spectre exterior
While Alex usually comes to Rolls Royce to film other people’s cars, this is the first time she’s been to pick up her own custom car.
She explains feeling ‘nervous’ because she’s made her custom choices based on small color swatches.
Opting for the ‘timeless’ classic black shade, she decided to switch things up with the ‘biggest wheels on any Rolls-Royce’ – the 23-inch rims with a colored center.
Other unique touches include a turquoise coach line to match what you see when you open the door.
Before she even pulls the covering off the car, she unlocks it to reveal a light-up Spirit of Ecstasy emblem that pops up from the car’s hood and stands out at night.
It’s the first model that this option has ever been available on – but of course, it adds to the cost.

The interior
The seats and doors boast a color scheme of gray and white, with extra piping, stitching, and turquoise accents that also feature on the piano-black, light-up dash and controls.
Special optional extras include the Starlight doors – again available for the first time – with nearly 5,000 hand-placed stars.
Alongside the Starlight roof, it adds to the car’s night-time appeal.
One thing the car expert declined to add was a two-tone steering wheel – as it took away the cruise-control option.
In the door jamb, her all-important Rolls-Royce umbrella – which comes with many models these days – is grey, turquoise, and white to match her custom interior.
Other subtle yet sumptuous extras you might not notice at first glance include the leather around the seatbelts and levers, plush carpets, and heat-reducing seat perforation.
With a cable installed in her home, the Rolls-Royce Spectre is the first fully electric car from the classic British brand.
It promises a quiet and powerful driving experience with 585 horsepower and 0-100 km/h / 0-62 mph in 4.4 seconds.
The Whispers app allows for advanced connectivity, including remote climate control, so the car will be at the perfect temperature before your departure.
She adds that ‘this is the most connected Rolls-Royce ever made’.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
