While Fux’s collection spans a wide range of models, his recent foray into the world of electric vehicles has been notable. “I now possess three electric cars: the Spectre, a Hummer EV, and a Tesla Plaid,” he shared at the delivery event in Miami. Fux was also anticipated to be the first American owner of the Hispano Suiza Carmen Boulogne, a stunning Italian EV. However, circumstances shifted, and the car was never delivered to him.

The Rolls-Royce segment of Fux’s collection is nothing short of impressive. From a vivid orange Cullinan and a captivating Blue Candy Dawn to a mesmerizing Green Jade Pearl Wraith, it’s clear that Fux has an eye for unique customization. He takes it a step further with 12 bespoke colours named in his honour, with ‘Fuxia’ standing out as the most recognized. Interestingly, his newly acquired Spectre adopts a more understated design, featuring a Tempest Grey exterior combined with a pristine white leather interior accentuated with yellow piping.

However, this won’t be his only Spectre. Fux hinted at a more personalized version in the works, “I’m closely collaborating with Rolls on it, and it’s going to be a showstopper,” he chuckled. The delivery of this customized gem is slated for the end of 2024.
Hummer EV Edition 1
The Rolls-Royce Spectre is the pinnacle of his electric collection in terms of cost. With a starting price of $422,750, it dwarfs the costs of his other EVs – the Hummer EV Edition 1 at just over $112,000 and the Tesla Model S Plaid at approximately $91,380.
Those eyeing the Spectre might need a lesson in patience. As per Torsten Muller-Otvos, the outgoing CEO of Rolls-Royce, the current wait list extends to a staggering 15 months, pushing potential ownership to 2025 or later. As for Fux, being first does have its privileges.
Conclusion
Michael Fux’s addition of the Rolls-Royce Spectre to his collection isn’t merely about owning another luxury car; it’s a statement of his commitment to embracing the future of automotive technology while maintaining an unwavering standard for luxury. With a waitlist that extends well into 2025 for the Spectre, Fux’s early acquisition reaffirms his position at the pinnacle of car collectors. As the automotive industry shifts gears towards a greener future, collectors like Fux are leading the way, blending opulence with sustainability in a manner that only few can achieve.
