Rolls-Royce recently revealed its latest masterpiece, the Droptail roadster, on a remarkable Sunday. This exclusive model is poised to redefine luxury, as only four units will be produced, each carrying an astonishing price tag exceeding $25 million, outshining even the Sweptail and Boat Tail models.
What sets the Droptail apart is its audacious four-year development journey. Unlike its predecessors, it boasts an entirely original design, featuring materials like carbon fiber. With dimensions measuring 208 inches in length and nearly 79 inches in width, it’s slightly more compact than the Spectre electric coupe, albeit sharing design elements, especially at the rear.
However, its powerhouse stands out, accommodating Rolls-Royce’s twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V-12 engine, producing an impressive 593 horsepower—a significant departure from Rolls-Royce’s customary performance benchmarks.
This roadster pays homage to cross-country adventures with its two-seat configuration and cozy interior, adorned with meticulous woodwork. A removable hard-top roof gives the Droptail a seamless appearance when removed, accentuating its sleek silhouette. Notably, the grille features a unique swept-back design for its vanes, a departure from tradition.
The debut model, La Rose Noire, is adorned with a vibrant red paint called True Love, representing the essence of romance. Rolls-Royce’s Droptail, crafted in limited quantities with unmatched skill, sets a new benchmark for custom-made vehicles, establishing itself as the epitome of opulent automotive craftsmanship, and redefining the standards for bespoke creations in its field.
