The Rolls-Royce Arcadia Droptail has a special watch


Few are as romantic as a Rolls-Royce. Just look at the new droptail, the Arcadia, which is the third of four special V12 single-use droptails. But Rolls-Royce has never had such a ‘simple’ story. For example, this Arcadia is named after what the ancient Greeks called ‘heaven on earth’.

Arcadia is designed to be peaceful. Hence its white body color and aluminum and glass parts, which should create the ‘illusion of infinite depth in color’. Are you getting warm yet? There is also carbon fiber that is painted silver. The color on this road should ensure that the droptail silhouette is more prominent.

On the inside, the Rolls is designed according to the customer’s wishes. Rolls-Royce says the Arcadia’s prospective owner was “very involved and involved” in the design. What would you do if you paid tens of millions for a car? There is a two-tone leather interior and of course the hardwood that has been given a special color that should last the entire life cycle of the car.

Sandwiched between wood and layers of carbon fiber (just like the F1) is the toughest watch Rolls-Royce has ever incorporated into a car. It took five months to collect all 119 parts of the watch. The final manufacturing and processing of the clock in the interior took two years. The watch has 119 parts in total. It takes time, but then you will get something. In total, it took Rolls-Royce four years to build the Arcadia Droptail.

Description of Arcadia

As with other drops, Rolls-Royce’s famous 6.75 liter V12 engine is under the beautiful hood. Twelve cylinders with two turbos provide 600 hp of power and 840 Nm of torque. At the back you will find a wooden deck that is reminiscent of a yacht. The piece of wood (which has 76 parts and took 8,000 hours to build) looks not only to the eye, but also helps aerodynamics because it is at an angle of 55 degrees.

The brand doesn’t reveal what Rolls’ special customer paid for the two-seater roadster. According to Bloomberg the owners will each pay an amount of 31.8 million dollars. Perhaps this Arcadia is more expensive because of its special clock. ‘We reveal a unique approach of simplicity, calmness and understated elegance. It was a privilege for me to be a part of this,” says the Rolls-Royce Coachbuild boss. They are true lovers.
