Rolls-Royce Droptail: four bespoke roadsters
Rolls-Royce Droptail — the Coachbuild model unveiled at the 2023 Monterey Car Week, with only four units to be produced. It's a two-door, two-seater roadster with handcrafted details.
Droptail in brief
The Droptail is the third modern model in the Rolls-Royce Coachbuild line, following the Sweptail and Boat Tail. All four cars share the same basic design, but materials and finishes are chosen individually.
The first car, according to the manufacturer, is named 'La Rose Noire'.
History and creation
The Droptail was unveiled at Monterey Car Week 2023. Each car is created in collaboration with the client and refined to their specifications.
The project continues the Rolls-Royce Coachbuild tradition of building cars to individual orders.
Technical specs
The Droptail features a 6.75-litre V12 engine. The body is a two-seater roadster with handcrafted finishes and a multitude of unique details.
Like other Coachbuild cars, it's not produced on a conveyor belt but crafted in small batches.
Value and where to see it
The Droptail showcases Rolls-Royce's direction towards ever-more bespoke automobiles. It's significant both in the luxury industry and for collectors.
The first car was shown at Monterey; the other cars belong to their owners and are rarely seen in public.
Coachbuild line
The Droptail has no set trims; each car is unique.
