Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is privileged to present Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire Droptail, a dark, daring and dramatic coachbuilt masterpiece. This extraordinary motor car, presented to the clients who commissioned it at a private event close to Pebble Beach in California today, symbolises the distillation of experiences, significant moments and objets d’art cherished by its owners - an international family that exemplifies connoisseurship and luxury of the very highest order. Indeed, Coachbuild designers described the family’s talent for sensitive and informed curation in their homes and within their notable collection of motor cars and fashion icons, as an art form unto itself.
Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire Droptail is inspired by the allure of the Black Baccara rose, an intense, velvet-like flower that originates in France and is beloved by the mother of the commissioning family. The dark pomegranate colour of its petals appears almost black in shade, but in direct light, a red, pearlescent shimmer is revealed on the dark surface. These two colours form the primary palette of La Rose Noire Droptail. The first red shade is named ‘True Love’ in recognition of the romance the client wished to capture in this commission. The darker tone is named ‘Mystery’, inspired by the mysterious nature of the rose, which appears to change colour when viewed from different angles. Indeed, it was the essence of true love and the mystery of exploration and travel that captivated the clients throughout the commissioning process.
The exterior coachwork is finished in the lustrous and complex True Love red. Like the Black Baccara rose, the motor car also appears to change colour depending on the point it is examined from. To achieve this rich variation, surface finish specialists developed a completely new paint process, which was perfected over 150 careful iterations. A base coat, the colour of which is a closely guarded secret, was followed by five layers of clear lacquer, each blended with a slightly different tone of red.
The duotone theme extends into La Rose Noire Droptail’s brightwork. The dark finish, named Hydroshade due to its liquid quality, was developed specifically for this project. These pieces are not painted; rather, a specific chrome electrolyte is introduced in the chrome plating process and co-deposited on each stainless-steel substrate in a layer just one micron thick - roughly the same width as a strand of spider-web silk. This dark but reflective finish is continued on select metal details throughout the interior, each of which have been precision-polished by hand to achieve a high-gloss finish.
A removable hard top has been designed to give Droptail two distinct characters: without its roof Droptail is a lithe, open-top roadster; with the roof installed, it becomes a formidable and dramatic coupé. Exclusively for La Rose Noire, the roof is uniquely low-slung, which is further exaggerated with a faster and longer rake to underpin its assertive, glamourous character. Behind it, an ingot with the motor car’s name is included - a first for Rolls-Royce. The completely Bespoke roof also features an electrochromic glass section, which instantly transitions to a near-translucent shade at the touch of a button, inviting patrons to explore the world above.
The commissioning clients’ passion for detail is exemplified on La Rose Noire Droptail’s Pantheon grille vanes. In a discreet embellishment, True Love paint is hand-applied as an accent on the reverse surface of the vanes themselves - a refined detail that is only visible by way of indirect reflection.
This subtle flourish continues into the intricate lower front air intake. This highly detailed piece was digitally designed and 3D printed in a lightweight composite and incorporates 202 hand-polished stainless-steel ingots, each hand-painted in the True Love hue.
A significant exterior element is the treatment of the striking alloy wheels, which feature the dark Mystery paint finish. Like the flower itself, from afar the finish appears to be black, but upon closer examination, the sunlight reveals shimmering dark red undertones. The Mystery paint is applied to the entire surface of the rim and then, through a high-precision diamond milling process, areas of the paint are removed to expose accents of the base alloy material that are then polished. This treatment emphasises the directional nature of the wheel and its bold 22-inch size. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
The headlamps and grill look like that of a Skoda Superb
Stunningly beautiful side surfaces lost with banal Skoda face and Mustang/Hyundai tail
The front looks like a Buick
Amazing cars all ✅️ 🚗.
Very nice design
Beautiful design
Masterpiece
I prefer the Phantom drophead coupe...
You always surprise me, how you can improve a Rolls Royce it looks beautiful ,excellence perfection
While I applaud this Rolls Royce, the front still looks like a BUICK, an upgraded version of the 2010 Phantom front lighting cues would work great here.
This guy bulk him up, and you have the next James bond.
Was für ein fantastisches Design, was für ein fantastischer Rolls Royce. ❤
Chinese are going to make a copy of this with more smart features on a very very lower price. This creation is worth £25 million. The Chinese copy will be less than £25k 😆
This car is the pinnacle of love from the stars above we clearly have down below on earth right here and what a fine beautiful gentleman to showcase this beautiful car both are lovely 😍 😊❤❤😮
That front appears like new electric Skodas. But the rest, is very very elegant.
Beautifully executed ❤❤❤
Best Design!!!😊😊😊
A Dawn with a cheap looking Skoda Grille, half a mustang rear light, and almost zero chrome, you've watered down and ruined the temple stand alone Grille, and given styling of any old 2010's generic german 4 seat convertible.
No f...... way , its look like from Skoda Family ...like Octavia GT 2+2
Very beautiful car but concerning the design of the rose petals (triangles) on the inside and on the rear of the car... I'm not sure. It is to simplistic for a car of this calibre. Think RR could have forced themself more than that.
نقول لكم جميعا سبحان الله العظيم الذي خلق الإنسان وعلّم الإنسان ما لم يعلم صدق الله العظيم.. تصميم رائع خرافي تصميم جديد عصري تصميم فوق الخيال والواقع التصميم الرائع إشي فخم المصمم العبقري الذي صنع هذة الأسطورة يجب أن يأخذ جوائز العالم على تصميم ❤❤❤❤
Apaixonada vou comprar ❤❤
🎉
Is it really worth ? 😊
I prefer my RR CULLINAN !!ANYTIME ANY YEAR
4 years and it will be a rustbucket, just like any other german car.
the design is cool though, the gypsies will love it.
Where did this guy come from. Such excellent English, almost unheard of from an Englishman these days and normally pronunciation and verbiage reserved for foreigners speaking excellent English. Well done indeed. Lovely colour scheme but have to get used to the move to a BMW look I think. However love to have one in my stable as soon as I can afford one. Stable that is.
Looks like a ford mustang
It's nice enough but this guy is overdoing it somewhat! 😆
Ive seen several comments saying it looks like a skoda, man thats just mean😂, imagine the sucker that payed for a custom job Dawn and it looks like a more common brand than a regular RR dawn🫢 The boat tail looked more classy than this and even that was overpriced. At this point its either gonna be bought by some prince, king, emperor or dictator, and they wont think twice about it as long as no one has something like this. This thing is literally worth a superyacht, LITERAL SUPERYACHT. Not even a house. Idc do whatever you want RR.
If I had my way (and I won't because I'm not rich enough) my spec would be no carpet in the car....
It was not a carpet..
Ford mustang 😂😂
bentley win
I love the color beautiful car but that dashboard has to go
Run it plese
$30 million for that? someone hs been drinking
😎🇵🇰
Another proof that super rich are not paying enough taxes.
They can't be taxed
well, its a remake of an Art Deco car!
Problem with these cars ferraris lambos etc… is people buy them drive them 2 times then put them in a garage wipe them down with a diaper then sell them with 100 miles on it. I dont get it. Its a car it has a purpose which is to be driven
@@kuramarosetta8193 exactly...
You know the nondset of a million
Ask yourself, 🤔who is buying these?
Remember what George said “ it’s a big club and you ain’t in it “
At first sight rolls Royce are machine production..
No more than 400 k !
I will take the spectre instead of this
Hail Hydra 😂😂😂
Whether you have the money or not, say what you will, but anyone who would spend $30 million dollars on a car has fool-I mean excentric-written all over them.
I love the shape and side profile but I feel like more could have been done for the front end. At least in my opinion it's too basic looking for it's price tag, yes simplicity can look good but this is TOO simple. My other complaint is that it is probably the cheapest looking expensive interior I've ever seen. The quality and look of the buttons on the steering wheel and around it along with the mid 2000s economy car vibe of the rest of the dash just infuriates me. I love the center console and the seats being surrounded is pretty cool but even the seats look outdated. The back end is cool imo but that, the side profile and center console are 3 of the only things I can say I actually like about this car. I sat in the 2024 BMW i7 recently and that was one of the most luxurious and well designed interiors id ever seen, while ill say it's a little too much tech for my liking, it's clear everything in that interior was designed with a precise purpose. I'm only gonna compare the front seats as this rolls is only 2 seats, the seats in the i7 LOOKED like they were extremely comfortable and they were, I could literally sleep on them every night. The rolls seats don't necessarily look uncomfortable but they look very outdated and they totally could have made seats that better complimented the overall design of the car. Just a cool side note: the i7 has an entire like 40 inch tv in the back that folds out, a fridge between the rear seats, tons of adjustablility and there was literal tv remotes as touch screens on the door-side arm rest for both seats. Easily the coolest interior I've ever seen, that's the kind of car you pay someone to drive you around in during the week then take on a 1000 mile road trip on the weekend
Horrible rear, something is going wrong with new generation of designers. Everything is going down
No matter how many big words you use to describe this, it's not going to change the fact it looks like a ford 😆😂
What ford
@@adilsagadiyev5090 a cross between a Mondeo Vignale and a Mustang.
Hardly.
The Ford you built?
What Ford exactly?
Looks like a BMW to me...
i,m old school so this is not Rolls-Royce to me😢
even buick before 1996 were luxury car❤
Beautiful but not 30 million dollars beautiful not even if I could. I could buy 25000 acres for less and a Bentley.
I dont care what anybody says.. theres no car that will ever be worth $30M. And lets just say they realistically do a make a car worth $30M it better be made out of gold, diamonds, rubies, opal and every bolt and nut made out of rhodium.
Super tax the super rich!
they can't be taxed
@@ps4games164 , they can be, with determination. Roosevelt did it.
@@cam0mute
to tax the rich one have to count all the money in the world every month are you kidding me
@@ps4games164 , your reply would indicate how little you know about banking and intrrnational settlements. And accounting. And law. It can be done.
Not sure why you are so defeatist about the prospect of tacking this issue.
@@cam0mute
Even if it's possible who do you think would really pay for the taxes? The rich? No. The employees and the customers. The rich control the prices you know. The government can't control that. Good luck with taxing the rich. And btw it's impossible anyway.
Sorry but the stupid price doesn’t make sense
😒
Экскурсия 👍 не куплю это музей
Think about how much of a liability this car is. Insurance alone is probably $500k a year. Putting that in perspective, you could buy a brand new Rolls Royce every single year just for what he pays for insurance lol.
no more as 300 k €
Somiglia ad una LANCIA Y !!! E ha solo 2 posti...i cinesi la disegnavano meglio...
