The British ultra-luxury car brand has unveiled the first model in its Coachbuild (handcrafted) collection. Drawing inspiration from the brand's EX experimental cars of the 1920s, Project Nightingale is a large, two-seater electric convertible.

Named Nightingale, the car draws inspiration from designer Henry Royce's winter residence on the Cote d'Azur in France. Project Nightingale measures 5,761 mm in length, comparable to the Phantom. It features a raked windshield, a long tail that tapers elegantly towards the rear, and 24-inch wheels inspired by yacht propellers.

Wheels designed with inspiration from yacht propellers.

The car's exterior paint, Cote d'Azur blue with a hint of red, is complemented by silver accents and a matching soft top. This pale blue shade is inspired by the 1928 Rolls-Royce 17EX.

The Pantheon grille, crafted from a single block of stainless steel, is flanked by thin, vertically-stacked LED headlights. The rear features prominent LED taillights, connected to the front light clusters by a polished stainless steel strip spanning the car's entire length. An aerodynamically designed rear diffuser manages airflow without the need for a spoiler.

The interior features a two-tone scheme of Charles blue and Grace white, accented with deep navy blue decorative details, peony pink highlights, and open-pore ebony wood trim. A saddle-shaped armrest slides back to reveal the controls for the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy emblem, which serves as one of five rotary controls.

Another highlight is the Starlight Breeze system, comprising 10,500 individual fiber-optic stars. These stars are arranged in a unique pattern, derived from the acoustic analysis of nightingale songs, in Rolls-Royce's distinctive style.

The silver soft top, made from a blend of cashmere and high-performance fabrics, is specially tuned to allow the sound of rain to filter through while blocking mechanical noise.

Nightingale's chassis shares the aluminum "architecture of luxury" spaceframe with the rest of the Rolls-Royce lineup. Project Nightingale utilizes the same electric powertrain as Spectra, though the British ultra-luxury carmaker has not yet disclosed its specifications.

Rolls-Royce Project Nightingale production is limited to 100 units worldwide, with deliveries anticipated in 2028. According to Autocar, the vehicle has an estimated starting price of 9,5 million USD, excluding personalization options.
