Rolls-Royce has unveiled Project Nightingale, a limited-run two-seat electric convertible as the first model in its new Coachbuild Collection of 100 examples priced from around £7 million, with owners already chosen by the company.
Rolls-Royce will begin testing this summer with first deliveries due in 2028; the company says Project Nightingale is 99% production ready despite being described as a concept. Built on the Art of Luxury platform, Rolls-Royce says most parts are unique and it shares little with Spectre.
Phil Harnett, head of future products, said the Coachbuild Collection will deliver bespoke limited-run models every two to three years and sit between series-production one-offs and full Coachbuild projects. Domagoj Dukec, former BMW design boss, said Nightingale's design will shape future Rolls-Royce styling.
Rolls-Royce expects the high personalisation and low volumes to boost margins after selling 5,664 cars last year, and Harnett said the programme lets designers experiment with extravagant features that could trickle down to higher-volume models.
