Rolls-Royce has introduced its latest bespoke creation, the Arcadia Droptail, marking the third addition to its series of coachbuilt Droptails. Drawing inspiration from the mythical ‘Heaven on Earth’ in Ancient Greek mythology, the Arcadia Droptail joins the exclusive ranks of La Rose Noire and Amethyst Droptails.
The foundation of the Rolls-Royce Droptail is a purpose-built monocoque designed exclusively for this project. Utilizing a combination of aluminum, steel, and carbon fiber components, the structure sets the stage for a distinctive and luxurious vehicle. The exterior of the Arcadia Droptail is adorned in a solid white finish infused with aluminum and glass particles. Adding to its visual allure, the carbon fiber lower section is elegantly painted in silver, creating a harmonious dual-tone aesthetic. Paying homage to Rolls-Royce’s rich heritage, the front grille and 22-inch alloy wheels are meticulously polished to a mirror finish.
Inside the cabin, Rolls-Royce has spared no effort in crafting an opulent environment. The company opted for Santos Straight Grain, a wood veneer renowned for its fine grain, to adorn the interior. This high-density hardwood is not only featured throughout the cabin but is also meticulously applied to the rear deck section. Rolls-Royce proudly asserts that extensive testing was conducted on the veneer pieces, requiring over 8,000 hours of development for both the wood elements and the protective coating.
The interior ambiance is further elevated by the use of white and tan-colored leather trim, exemplifying the brand’s commitment to luxury and exclusivity. The Arcadia Droptail boasts exquisite shawl panels, contributing to the overall sense of refinement and sophistication within the vehicle. To complete the bespoke experience, a specially crafted timepiece with a Santos Straight Grain veneer fascia adorns the interior, underscoring the meticulous attention to detail.
This exceptional Rolls-Royce creation, the Arcadia Droptail, has been commissioned for delivery to a discerning client in Singapore. The unveiling of this coachbuilt masterpiece reinforces Rolls-Royce’s dedication to offering unparalleled customization and craftsmanship, catering to the desires of its clientele who seek automotive excellence that extends beyond conventional boundaries. With its distinctive design, meticulous material selection, and attention to detail, the Arcadia Droptail stands as a testament to Rolls-Royce’s commitment to creating automotive masterpieces that embody luxury, individuality, and timeless elegance.
