Making its debut at Gardens by the Bay, the two-seater roadster, the first in Rolls-Royce’s modern history, embodies subtle irreverence; a daring expression of the client’s taste that honours natural materials and forms.
At a private ceremony in Singapore, the owner received the stunning two-seat bespoke commission, intending for the coach build to be driven abroad. Though no pricing was mentioned, Anders Warming, Design Director of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, while presenting the design philosophy of the Arcadia Droptail, hinted at it: “One doesn’t just drop £20 million on a bespoke commission to make any car; we must make sure that our vision is aligned.”
Five years in the making, Alex Innes, who heads up the Coachbuild department at Rolls-Royce, presented the client with a mood board four and a half years ago, and that was the beginning of the Arcadia’s development. The third of its kind, the two-seater Arcadia comes after the Amethyst and La Rose Noire roadsters, and though there’s a fourth and final vehicle still to come, the Rolls-Royce Arcadia is quite simply the finest emblem to representing the pinnacle of aesthetics and engineering at Goodwood.
AT $31 MILLION, THE COACH BUILT ROLLS-ROYCE ARCADIA DROPTAIL IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE CAR EVER DELIVERED IN SINGAPORE.
