There are luxury cars, then there are handbuilt, one-off works of art. Bespoke.

The Rolls Royce Arcadia Droptail is clearly the latter, a super-exclusive, highly specialized coachbuild, and it happens to be the most expensive new car in the world.

At $31 million dollar, the Arcadia Droptail is absurdly expensive. It also happens to be absurdly beautiful, with a handcrafted exterior and interior that make it a true work of art.

With a build that took over 5 months, and intricately inlaid wood, crystal, and leather, this Rolls Royce may be outrageously expensive. However the level of quality, precision, custom elements, and exclusivity seem to justify the eye watering price.

The rear-hinged doors provide a wide entrance, and are completely automatic, of course.

1 of 1, this hand built Droptail is meant as the ultimate collector’s car.

We’re particularly fond of the side profile, which is long but also expressive.

The rear deck of the Droptail is where much of the handbuilt work took place, inlaying the wood grain perfectly. Santos straight grain mahogany is the wood of choice.
