The Rolls Royce La Rose Noir Drop tail is the most expensive car in the world. The car is worth $32 million which is about N48 billion.
The La Rose Noire Droptail (French for “The Black Rose”), a bespoke 2-seat roadster by Rolls Royce, is a symbol of opulence and intricate craftsmanship. The Droptail is the third car launched under Rolls Royce’s Coach build program. Inspired by the Black Baccara rose, renowned for its intense, velvet-like appearance, it holds the current title of the world’s most expensive car. Limited to just four units, each Droptail is uniquely named and specified. The La Rose Noire is the first delivered Droptail and took over four years to complete.
The abstract motif on the curved panels and doors was the most complex parquetry ever done by Rolls Royce. The parquetry features 1603 pieces of black sycamore veneer, punctuated by asymmetrical red segments, resembling falling rose petals. The process demanded intense concentration, limiting the craftspeople to one-hour sessions for no more than five hours a day. The exterior boasts a bespoke colour named ‘True Love,’ designed to mimic the petals changing colour under different lighting conditions. The colour took over 150 iterations to get it just right. The finishing touch is a removable Audemars Piguet timepiece, specially created for this project, showcasing the commitment to luxury and attention to detail in every aspect of La Rose Noire Droptail.
The interior of the La Rose Noire Droptail is just as luxurious as the exterior. The seats are trimmed in the finest leather and the dashboard is made of rare wood veneers. The car also features a number of state-of-the-art amenities, such as a starlight headliner and a bespoke sound system.
The four models of Droptail were presented in its “La Rose Noire” version. Each of the four models received a different name, color and interior.
