Rolls-Royce Breaks Boundaries with the £20 Million Arcadia Droptail
The unveiling of the Rolls-Royce Arcadia Droptail has set a new benchmark for automotive opulence, firmly establishing itself as the world’s most expensive car with a price tag of around £20 million. As the third installment in Rolls-Royce’s illustrious ‘Coachbuild’ Droptail series, the Arcadia Droptail not only continues the legacy of its predecessors, the Amethyst and La Rose Noire, but also elevates it to unparalleled heights of luxury and exclusivity.
Named after the idyllic realm of Arcadia from Ancient Greek mythology, symbolizing ‘Heaven on Earth’, the vehicle boasts a solid white exterior paint infused with aluminium and glass particles, giving it a unique shimmer and depth. In a departure from the carbon fibre exposure seen in its siblings, the Arcadia opts for a silver-painted lower body, complemented by mirror-polished 22-inch alloys and Pantheon grille, encapsulating the essence of tranquility and purity.
The interior of the Arcadia Droptail underscores Rolls-Royce’s commitment to craftsmanship and bespoke luxury. A staggering 233 pieces of wood, including 76 just for the rear deck, underscore the significance of wood development in the car’s design. The use of Santos Straight Grain wood, chosen for its texture and visual intrigue, was a meticulous process, with each piece undergoing extensive development to ensure durability in various climates, including tropical environments.
