Rolls‑Royce Motor Cars has unveiled a new convertible as part of Project Nightingale, which falls under its Coachbuild collection. The name references the French word Le Rossignol, meaning "nightingale," and the design house located near Henry Royce's winter residence on the French Riviera.This two-seater convertible features a fully electric powertrain. Its design draws inspiration from the Art Deco era of the 1920s and 1930s, as well as experimental Rolls‑Royce models from the 1920s, including the EX-series such as 16EX and 17EX.The project embodies three key principles: "From vertical to flowing," where the imposing Pantheon Grille transitions into a long, elegant rear; "Central fuselage," with a continuous body line from front to back reminiscent of a yacht's hull; and "Flying wings," sculpted volumes that create tension in the overall form.At 5.76 meters in length, the new model is nearly as long as a Phantom. Its radiator grille spans almost one meter wide and is crafted from stainless steel with 24 vanes, integrating the Spirit of Ecstasy figurine. The car also rides on 24-inch wheels inspired by yacht propellers.Inside, the centerpiece is the Starlight Breeze system, featuring a "starlit sky" with 10,500 individual stars of varying sizes. This pattern is based on the sound waves of a nightingale's song. Behind the seats sits a sculptural form called the Horseshoe, while the rotary controller includes a tactile stainless steel ring with the Spirit of Ecstasy motif.For Project Nightingale, Rolls-Royce developed an entirely new color palette and a suite of bespoke features exclusive to this Coachbuild collection, unavailable on any other Rolls-Royce model. Each of the 100 units will be meticulously tailored to the client's preferences, reflecting their personal taste and character. Customer deliveries are set to begin in 2028.
