In the realm of luxury automobiles, where opulence knows no bounds, Rolls Royce stands as a beacon of extravagance and elegance. The unveiling of the La Rose Noire Droptail at a private event during Monterey Car Week reaffirms this reputation, showcasing a harmonious blend of automotive excellence and artistic inspiration. 

A Love Story by Rolls Royce

Drawing inspiration from the mesmerizing Black Baccara rose, Rolls Royce introduces the La Rose Noire Droptail. More than a mere car, it’s a love story woven into a remarkable automotive creation. Symbolizing the distilled essence of cherished experiences, this Droptail stands as an embodiment of connoisseurship of the highest order.

The Colors of True Love

Every detail of the La Rose Noire Droptail exudes elegance, none more so than its color, aptly named True Love. This lustrous, dark pomegranate shade possesses a pearlescent shimmer that dances with light, revealing different facets of its beauty depending on its surroundings. With five layers of clear lacquer meticulously applied over the base coat, each layer subtly varying in tone, Rolls-Royce has achieved a color that required over 150 iterations to perfect.

Coupe to Roadster

The Droptail is a masterpiece that embraces duality. Its transformative nature is embodied in the removable hardtop, offering two distinct looks. With the hardtop in place, the Droptail boasts a dramatic coupe appearance, complete with an electrochromic glass section that seamlessly shifts from opaque to near-translucent with a simple touch. With the hardtop removed, this masterpiece transforms into a lithe, open-top roadster, perfect for basking in the sun and the wind.

Rolls Royce Marvelous Interior

Inside the La Rose Noire Droptail, opulence continues to unfold. The interior envelops passengers in exquisite craftsmanship, with the highlight being the stunning parquetry. Crafted from 1,603 meticulously cut black wood veneer triangles, this intricate pattern mimics the organic scatter of falling rose petals, celebrating nature’s beauty within the confines of a car.

Audemars Piguet Collaboration

The centerpiece of this automotive marvel is an integrated luxury timepiece – a 43-millimeter Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT Large Date. This elegant timepiece mirrors the hues of La Rose Noire, incorporating red accents that contrast elegantly against the black dial. A testament to the exquisite craftsmanship, the watch is not just a part of the car; it’s a wearable work of art.

The Future of Luxury

La Rose Noire proudly joins Rolls-Royce’s bespoke lineage, representing the epitome of handcrafted excellence. This exceptional creation is one of four unique Droptail commissions set to redefine automotive luxury. While La Rose Noire symbolizes the pinnacle of traditional craftsmanship, Rolls-Royce is also embracing the future with electric vehicles, exemplified by the introduction of the new Spectre.
