Rolls-Royce, synonymous with luxury and ultra-luxury, presents its latest creation, the Arcadia Droptail. This masterpiece of automotive craftsmanship is the third model in the Droptail series and perfectly embodies the brand's vision in terms of design, comfort, and refinement.

A Design InspiredInspired by Greek Mythology

The Arcadia Droptail takes its name from Arcadia, a mythical place in ancient Greece, often described as an earthly paradise. This custom-designed roadster was envisioned by its commissioner as a space of serenity, characterized by simplicity, material depth, and tactility.

Santos Straight Grain wood, chosen for its unique interlocking grain and texture, is used both inside and outside the vehicle. The rear of the car, aerodynamic and functional, showcases this wood at a perfect 55° angle. To protect these wooden surfaces, intended to be exposed to various climates, Rolls-Royce engineers developed a custom varnish, requiring over 8,000 hours of development and 1,000 hours of testing.

Interior of thethe Arcadia Droptail

The interior of the Arcadia Droptail is upholstered in leather in two exclusive shades chosen by the client. The main white harmonizes with the exterior paint, while the contrasting tan was developed to match perfectly with the Santos Straight Grain wood.

The V12 StillStill in the Spotlight

Under the hood, the Droptail Arcadia features a 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 engine, delivering 593 hp and 840 Nm of torque. A power deemed “sufficient” by Rolls-Royce, which still mentions a 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 5 seconds.
