Rolls-Royce Motor Cars introduces the extraordinary Rolls-Royce Amethyst Droptail, coachbuilt masterpiece inspired by the birthstone of the client's son. This bespoke creation is a celebration of painstaking craftsmanship, minimalist design, and the fusion of precious materials, setting a new standard for automotive artistry.
- Intricate Inspiration: Amethyst Droptail draws inspiration from the Globe Amaranth wildflower, which blooms in the desert near one of the client's homes. The exterior duotone finish, capturing various stages of the flower's bloom, is testament to Rolls-Royce's attention to detail.
- Exquisite Paint Finish: The soft purple hue with a silver undertone, named Globe Amaranth, is complemented by deep purple Amethyst contrast paint. The carbon fiber lower sections showcase a chevron pattern, technically demanding detail that adds geometric decoration to the car's exterior.
- Aerodynamically Functional Wood Surface: The extensive use of Calamander Light open-pore wood creates the largest wooden surface area in Rolls-Royce history. The aft deck, world-first, is both an artistic triumph and an aerodynamically functional element generating downforce for enhanced stability at high speeds.
- Chameleon Effect: The removable hard top incorporates electrochromic glass with a chameleon effect. The glass changes color and transparency, mirroring the exterior finish when opaque and transitioning to match the Sand Dunes leather color when translucent.
- Precious Amethyst Gems: Amethyst cabochons surround the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy figurine and adorn the rotary dials in the interior. These gems, shaped in a convex cabochon style, add a touch of elegance without conspicuous sparkle.
- Unique Veneering Process: new veneering process, combining bookmatching and slip-matching techniques, creates a repeating grain pattern on the chevron-style aft deck. This artistic approach demonstrates Rolls-Royce's commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional craftsmanship.
- Commissioned Timepiece: The interior features a bespoke timepiece commissioned from Vacheron Constantin, named 'Les Cabinotiers Armillary Tourbillon.' Handmade in Geneva, this intricate timepiece perfectly complements the motor car's design, emphasizing the union of luxury and craftsmanship.
- Unveiling in Gstaad: Rolls-Royce Amethyst Droptail was unveiled at private event in Gstaad, Switzerland, region of particular significance for the patron. The unveiling marked the culmination of collaborative journey between the client and the Rolls-Royce Coachbuild team.
Amethyst Droptail stands as testament to the client's passion for detail and cultural heritage and family legacy. It is rare jewel in the Rolls-Royce Coachbuild collection, embodying the spirit of connoisseurship and personal expression. With only four Droptail commissions available, each motor car is a unique blend of heritage, modernity, and soul, showcasing the unparalleled capabilities of Rolls-Royce cars in Dubai in the realm of bespoke luxury.
