In addition to the Ghost Zenith Collection, Rolls-Royce came out with another selection of customized cars. Of the 13 bespoke commissions built, three Pebble Beach 2019 Pastel Collection models have been immortalized in the following photo gallery.
What these cars have in common is the platform, which traces its roots back to the BMW 7 Series. The twin-turbo luxobarges come in the guise of the Ghost sedan, Wraith coupe, and Dawn convertible, finished in Light Green Solid, Coral Solid, and Semaphore Yellow. The interiors are just as colorful, and as expected, every example comes with two plaques on the sill plates to bring the point home.
Rolls-Royce mentions that the Light Green Solid of the Ghost “represents the rebirth of the flora on the peninsula following the years of drought and fire.” The Semaphore Yellow is adequate for the Wraith, described by its maker as “the most powerful member of the Rolls-Royce family” thanks to 632 PS (623 horsepower) and 870 Nm (642 pound-feet) of torque from 6.6 liters of displacement.
Being a drophead, the Dawn in Coral Solid needed more than nine hours of hand polishing in the workshop before heading to Pebble Beach to impress the crowd. These pastel colors are a breath of fresh air as opposed to the black and silver finishes expected of Rolls-Royce, and thanks to this color palette, Pebble Beach 2019 Pastel Collection models seem as if they came out of a bag of Skittles.
“Every year thousands of Rolls-Royce Owners come together for Monterey Car Week. It’s one of our most important family gatherings each year around the world, especially for our American owners,” said Martin Fritsches, president of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars North America. “Each and every commission has been created by the designers and craftspeople at Goodwood, home of Rolls-Royce working with the finest metal, leather, wood, and precious materials.”
Come 2020 for the 2021 model year, the Ghost will be replaced by an all-new model featuring the Architecture of Luxury from the Phantom and Cullinan. The Wraith and Dawn sill follow suit, featuring the 6.75-liter version of the N74 engine from BMW.
