Rolls-Royce Arcadia Droptail unveiled, check details here

Rolls-Royce has unveiled the Rolls-Royce Arcadia Droptail, the first roadster body style in the company’s modern history. Named after Arcadia, a place known in ancient Greek mythology as ‘Heaven on Earth’, the car features the most complex clock face in Rolls-Royce history with the assembly alone taking five months.

The car was presented to its commissioning client at a private ceremony in Singapore.

Rolls-Royce Coachbuild designers developed a natural duotone colourway for the Arcadia Droptail. The main body colour is a solid white infused with aluminium and glass particles. Rolls-Royce specialists developed a more faceted, striking metallic using larger sizing of aluminium particles.

In a key departure from the other three coachbuilt Droptails in this series, the carbon fibre used to construct the lower sections of the Arcadia Droptail is painted in the solid Bespoke silver colour rather than left fully or partially exposed. The exterior grille surround, ‘kinked’ vane pieces and 22-inch alloy wheels have been fully mirror-polished.

The Rolls-Royce Arcadia Droptail’s interior is finished in Santos Straight Grain, which has one of the finest grain types of all the wood species used within a Rolls-Royce. Santos Straight Grain is used throughout the Arcadia Droptail, including the aerodynamically functional rear deck section.
