The Gem of Automobiles
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has unveiled their stunning new creation: the Rolls-Royce Amethyst Droptail. This beautiful bespoke car reflects not only the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship but also the individual spirit and passion of the client who commissioned it.
A Story Woven in Details
This incredible vehicle was inspired by the birthstone of the patron’s son – amethyst. The gemstone stands as a symbol of purity, clarity, and resilience.
These themes echo throughout the design of the car. And speaking of echoes, this isn’t just any amethyst. It’s the one that has its roots deeply connected to the patron’s family, evolving from a boutique gemstone enterprise into a global corporation.
The exterior of the Droptail resonates with elegance, drawing inspiration from the Globe Amaranth wildflower. This lovely plant, found in the desert close to one of the client’s homes, influences the mesmerising dual-tone paint finish of the car.
The main body boasts a soft purple hue peppered with fine flecks of aluminium, while the upper section sports a deep purple Amethyst shade that comes alive with mica flakes, revealing a unique mauve colour.
Revel in the Craftsmanship
Diving deeper into the craftsmanship, there’s the Pantheon grille, showcasing a never-before-seen blend of brushed and polished finish. A nod, perhaps, to the client’s son’s penchant for haute horlogerie, with this particular design inspired by a piece from his collection.
The grille is flanked by an intricate lower front air intake, a work of art in its own right. This piece boasts 202 hand-polished stainless-steel ingots, each meticulously hand-painted in the Globe Amaranth hue. But wait, it doesn’t stop there.
Surrounding the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy figurine are stunning amethyst cabochons, adding that extra touch of luxury and tying back to the car’s overarching theme.
The Magic Inside
Once inside, the confluence of materials and craftsmanship is striking. Inspired by a sample of Calamander Light wood provided by the client, the interior leather, aptly named Sand Dunes, matches the wood’s caramel strands.
The primary leather hue, labelled Amethyst, mirrors the car’s exterior and is garnished with a subtle pearlescent finish. And, for the first time, Rolls-Royce has integrated the most extensive wooden surface area ever, stretching from the dashboard and doors all the way to the aft deck.
The Rolls-Royce Amethyst Droptail isn’t just a vehicle; it’s an embodiment of personal luxury, storytelling, and supreme craftsmanship.
Elevated Experience
Speaking of the car’s adaptability, the removable hardtop provides two distinct personalities to the Droptail. With the roof off, you’ve got a sleek, open-top roadster. Pop it on, and you’re graced with a commanding coupé.
And let’s not forget about that electrochromic glass roof. At a button’s touch, the roof’s colour can shift between a subtle purple reminiscent of the car’s exterior to a hue aligning with the Sand Dunes leather interior.
The Cherry on Top
Perhaps one of the most luxurious and personal touches is the bespoke timepiece crafted by Swiss watchmakers, Vacheron Constantin. Named ‘Les Cabinotiers Armillary Tourbillon,’ this handcrafted watch sits gracefully on the Droptail’s fascia. It’s not just a clock; it’s a piece of horological art.
In essence, the Rolls-Royce Amethyst Droptail stands as a testament to personal luxury and the boundless possibilities when artistry and passion converge. It’s not just a car; it’s a journey. And for the lucky owner, it’s one that will be enjoyed for miles and miles to come.
