Rolls-Royce revealed the third droptail The Arcadia cost around Rs. 209 Crore.The super luxurious roadster.
In the world of luxury automobiles, simplicity rarely takes center stage. However, the Rolls-Royce Arcadia effortlessly defies this notion, showcasing a blend of elegance and minimalism that is truly captivating.
Crafted by the skilled hands of Rolls-Royce’s Coachbuild department at their Goodwood headquarters, the Arcadia is the third iteration of the Droptail series, following the renowned ‘La Rose Noire’ and ‘Amethyst.’ Aptly named after a utopian pastoral vision, the Arcadia stands as a testament to bespoke luxury, tailored to the exacting preferences of its owner.
Underneath its elegantly plain white exterior lies a bespoke chassis, crafted from a blend of aluminum, steel, and carbon fiber, unique to the Droptail series. Powering this masterpiece is a 6.75-liter V12 engine, tuned to produce an impressive 593bhp and 620lb ft of torque, ensuring exhilarating performance on demand.
What sets the Arcadia apart is its detachable carbon fiber roof, a feature exclusive to this model. This, along with the meticulously crafted wood-and-leather interior, sets a new standard for luxury and craftsmanship.
Speaking of craftsmanship, the interior boasts an astounding 233 pieces of wood, with 76 of them adorning the rear deck. To protect this wood, Rolls-Royce developed a specialized coating, ensuring its beauty lasts a lifetime.
Beyond its aesthetics, the Arcadia’s design also serves a purpose. The shape of the wood on the rear deck is not just for show; it guides the air appropriately, overcoming aerodynamic challenges typically associated with droptail designs.
While the Arcadia may seem simple at first glance, a closer look reveals the complexity of its design. The dash, for example, features the most intricate clock face ever produced by Rolls-Royce, a testament to the brand’s commitment to excellence.
Unlike regular production models, Coachbuild cars like the Arcadia are crafted with meticulous attention to detail at Goodwood but follow a different production line, ensuring each vehicle is a true masterpiece, tailored to the desires of its discerning owner.
