We witnessed an exceptional event that added a new chapter in the history of luxury cars. The Rolls-Royce Spectre, the first fully electric car from the iconic British brand, was put up for auction and achieved sales exceeding three times its original price.
Selling for a fantastic price for Rolls Royce and the noble cause
Not only is the achieved price of $1.4 million impressive, but the noble intent behind this sale. Proceeds will benefit the Naples Children’s Education Foundation of Florida, reflecting the spirit of giving and social responsibility. The auction was held during the Naples Winter Wine Festival and added a touch of elegance and distinction to the event.
The auction winner, who preferred to remain anonymous, is an avid car collector and racing fan. He described the car as an “amazing machine,” expressing his pride and honor in owning a copy of it. These words reflect the appreciation and admiration for the design and performance of this unique vehicle.
The design and specifications of the Specter are the art of luxury and performance
The exterior design of the Specter embodies elegance and luxury, with its Polar White and Tempest Gray colors, and a distinctive purple side stripe. It comes equipped with 23-inch forged wheels, adding a touch of boldness and modernity. As for the interior, it is decorated with white Grace leather upholstery, with purple and black details, which enhances the feeling of sophistication and comfort.
What distinguishes the Specter is the Starlight headliner that extends to the doors, with more than 6,000 strands of optical fiber, creating a unique aesthetic experience. Technically, the electric motors send 577 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels, with a battery providing an estimated range of 266 miles.
The historical significance of Rolls Royce
This Specter is the fifth Rolls-Royce sold at auction to benefit the children of Collier County in the past 20 years. This journey began in 2007 with the Phantom Drophead Coupe, followed by the Wraith, Dawn, and finally the Phantom VII. The total raised by these auctions amounts to $5.68 million, reflecting Rolls-Royce’s commitment to contributing to society.
