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’.
