After Amethyst and La Rose Noire, already delivered to wealthy clients, Rolls-Royce's Coachbuild division has completed the series of three planned examples with the special Arcadia bodywork.
"It is the epitome of quiet irreverence," says Goodwood, "celebrating the purity of form and natural materials and at the same time representing a bold statement of the customer's personal taste."

Presented to the client during a private ceremony in Singapore, Rolls-Royce Arcadia is one of the new masterpieces - unique and very expensive - created by what the company defines as the most talented team of experts in the luxury sector.
Rolls-Royce reveals that the client was inspired by the purity of the Droptail design concept by insisting that his Coachbuild must be absolutely faithful to the first hand-drawn sketch first presented in 2019.
Requests which were accepted in full, given the bill which was paid (we're talking about 25 million dollars) Conceived as a serene space characterized by minimalism, natural materials and a wealth of tactile content, Arcadia represents a refuge from the complexities of working life.
It does this by capturing the theme of tranquility upon which Coachbuild designers embarked on a design, sculpture and architecture exploration of the client's favorite areas around the world.
Included, therefore, was the precision and richness of the modernist tropical gardens seen in Singapore, Indonesia and Vietnam.
Which inspired the large wooden elements whose assembly took the craftsmen five months, after the 8,000 hours that were necessary for their creation.
Two years instead to create the precious on-board clock.
Rolls-Royce Coachbuild is the ultimate expression of our brand and a concept unrivaled in the luxury sector - commented Chris Brownridge, CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Car - In this department the customers, who are the most influential people in the world collaborate with our designers, engineers and craftsmen to bring completely new ideas to life."
"Together, they create special automobiles that not only become a valuable part of the commissioning customer's personal story, but also add to the proud history of Rolls- Royce Motor Cars".
