At the Monterey Carweek, a variety of cars are once again being showcased, just like the super-exclusive and super-expensive Rolls-Royce Droptail. Keep reading to learn more about this car...
As a haven of luxury, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is constantly striving to create personalized and profoundly meaningful luxury products that reflect the aspirations and personal luxury codes of the brand's customers. Rolls-Royce's unparalleled capabilities in the field of "bespoke customization" allow customers to bring these desires to life by commissioning beautiful, handcrafted, and truly individual Rolls-Royce automobiles.
A small group of exceptional individuals aims to elevate this remarkable and deeply personal experience even further, extending beyond the boundaries of existing Rolls-Royce products. These highly ambitious and discerning customers seek the opportunity to collaborate directly with the brand's designers, engineers, and craftsmen to create completely unique Rolls-Royce automobiles that go beyond the brand's product portfolio, being involved at every phase of their development. This is Rolls-Royce Coachbuild.
Creatives at Rolls-Royce Coachbuild view the automobile as a sublime expression of applied art – the discipline of creating something beautiful, intellectually stimulating, and emotional, with a clear and singular purpose. The renaissance of contemporary coachbuilding began in 2017 with the "Sweptail," a bold two-door coupe that emerged in response to a customer's desire to revive the art of coachbuilding in collaboration with Rolls-Royce. With its dramatically tapering outline and continuous glass roof, it could be described as "extroverted." In 2021, the unveiling of the Boat Tail followed, an extremely social convertible that amplified its customers' love for hosting – an automobile that unabashedly represents the hedonist.
Now, Rolls-Royce proudly presents Droptail: the third chapter of a remarkable story that epitomizes the pinnacle of the Rolls-Royce brand and, by extension, the super-luxury sector. With Droptail, the focus was on creating an intimate and cozy interior that also served as an unparalleled canvas for highly customized woodwork. Droptail captures the charm and ambiance of two-seater driving – it truly is the romantic.
Only four examples of this remarkable automobile are being crafted, each telling a unique and personal story that reflects the ambitions, visions, and taste patterns of its patron – all significant collectors, art patrons, and business leaders.
