Rolls-Royce has unveiled Project Nightingale, the first coachbuilt electric vehicle in its Coachbuild Collection, a two-door, two-seat convertible with production capped at 100 units.
The Project Nightingale pairs an electric powertrain with elongated, coachbuilt bodywork roughly the length of the Phantom sedan, featuring a blunt upright nose and thin vertical headlights mounted at the outer edges of the front fascia. Stainless-steel trim runs from the headlights to the taillights, and the car rides on 24-inch wheels, the largest ever used by Rolls-Royce.
The rear uses vertically oriented taillights and a sharp hard edge across the back, while the trunk — dubbed the "Piano Boot" — opens to the side like a grand piano top. The soft-top incorporates cashmere, fabric and high-performance composites for sound deadening, and the exterior includes Côte d’Azur Blue paint with red flakes and red badges referencing earlier coachbuilt prototypes.
