In the world of supercars, where every detail counts, Rolls-Royce represents a new chapter in the definition of luxury. The Rolls-Royce Arcadia Droptail, the third vehicle in the Rolls-Royce Coachbuilt series, is more than just a car; is a work of art that combines timeless elegance and superior craftsmanship. With inspiration drawn from the idyllic landscape of Arcadia and the peaceful forests of Southeast Asia, this car is designed as a "heavenly" escape from everyday life.
The Rolls-Royce Arcadia Droptail is not just a car; is a dream come true in a form that transcends the usual limits of luxury. With more than 8,000 hours of handcrafting that went into creating the unique Santos Straight Grain wood inlays and an interior dressed in white and brown, this car stands out as the jewel in the Rolls-Royce crown.
The exterior of the Arcadie Droptail shines in a unique white color that shimmers in the light, thanks to the aluminum and glass particles in the paint. Unlike previous Droptail models, this customer requested that the normally exposed carbon fiber elements be painted in a special silver color. The rear part of the vehicle is decorated with a curved hood made of wood, which adds a finishing touch to the vehicle.
The interior of the Arcadia Droptail is just as impressive. The main part of the cabin is painted in a unique white color that mirrors the exterior color, while a contrasting beige shade borders the outer parts of the seats and headrests. Wood inlays surround the passengers, running around the dashboard, door panels and the curved section behind the seats. All these wooden works were created in 8,000 hours of painstaking manual work.
The coachbuilding team at Rolls-Royce spent more than two years developing and five months assembling the dashboard clock. The watch with 119 facets and the Rolls-Royce brand logo, made of stainless steel, represents the pinnacle of precision and elegance. The watch has hand-painted hands that require a magnifying camera to accurately apply the black paint.
Although performance isn't the focus at Rolls-Royce, for those who care, the Droptail is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V12 engine that develops 593 horsepower (442 kW) and 840 Nm of torque.
The Rolls-Royce Arcadia Droptail is more than just a car; is an expression of ultimate luxury and individuality. By delivering the vehicle to its owner in Singapore, Rolls-Royce proves once again that their vehicles are more than just means of transport – they are dreams realized in metal, wood and leather. The Arcadia Droptail is proof that Rolls-Royce remains steadfast in its commitment to excellence, timelessness and uncompromising luxury. The price? Out of reach for most, but for those who can afford it, the Arcadia Droptail is a ticket to a world where luxury meets art.
