Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has unveiled the Arcadia Droptail, the third Coachbuild Droptail commission, offering an unparalleled haven of tranquility and sophistication. Named after the mythical realm of Arcadia, known as 'Heaven on Earth,' this bespoke creation embodies purity of form and natural beauty, meticulously crafted to reflect the client's personal taste and sensibilities.


A Celebration of Design and Craftsmanship

The Arcadia Droptail pays homage to Droptail's principal design, presenting a unique interpretation characterized by minimalist elegance and subtle refinement. From its sleek exterior to its meticulously crafted interior, every detail of this coachbuilt masterpiece reflects the client's affinity for clarity, precision, and British luxury.


Exquisite Exterior Detailing

In tribute to Droptail's distinctive form, the Arcadia Droptail features a calm, natural duotone colorway, with a solid white body infused with aluminum and glass particles to create a shimmering effect. The carbon fiber lower sections are painted in a bespoke silver color, accentuating the motor car's dynamic profile. Mirror-polished brightwork adds a touch of brilliance, while subtle design gestures highlight Droptail's clean, monolithic surfacing.


Interior: A Personal Reflection

The interior of the Arcadia Droptail is a testament to the client's individual aesthetic, characterized by a combination of bespoke wood, leather, and exquisite detailing. Santos Straight Grain wood, selected for its rich texture and visual intrigue, adorns the cabin, meticulously applied to complex surfaces to create a sense of harmony and serenity. The leather upholstery, finished in bespoke white and tan hues, complements the wood grain, creating a luxurious and inviting atmosphere.


Bespoke Timepiece: Precision and Elegance

At the heart of the Arcadia Droptail lies a bespoke clock face, the most complex ever created by Rolls-Royce. Featuring a geometric guilloché pattern and polished hour markers, the clock reflects the marque's commitment to precision and craftsmanship. Each component is meticulously machined and hand-finished, embodying the essence of haute horlogerie.


A Testament to Personal Style

Arcadia Droptail is more than just a motor car; it's a reflection of the client's unique style and sensibilities. From its carefully curated materials to its innovative design solutions, every aspect of this coachbuilt commission is tailored to the client's vision of luxury and refinement. As a result, Arcadia Droptail stands as a timeless expression of individuality and elegance, a true masterpiece of Rolls-Royce craftsmanship.
