Short version: you’ve seen the red one, now here’s the blue one. To elaborate, this is the new Rolls-Royce Amethyst Droptail, the second of four Droptails that will be crafted by the Coachbuild department in Goodwood, created in close liaison with its ultra-wealthy buyer.اضافة اعلان
Like the recently revealed La Rose Noire Droptail detailed below, the Amethyst is a two-seat, two-door roadster using a hotted-up version of Goodwood’s V12 engine in a special low-riding steel, carbonfibre and aluminium chassis, and it has a removable hardtop.
What’s different about the Amethyst Droptail?
There’s even more wood than La Rose Noire. So much so that the wooden panel behind the seats actually contributes downforce, claimed to be unique in the car world.
The floormats are woven leather, a nod to the traditional crafts of the owner’s original home region, before their gemstone business took off and they joined the global elite.
The instrument dial surrounds use amethyst cabochons, meaning gemstones that have been shaped and polished into a round rather than faceted shape, reducing the sparkle. The same treatment can be seen around the feet of the Spirit of Ecstasy figurine on the bonnet.
Anything else outside?
The lower air intake incorporates 202 hand-polished stainless-steel ingots, hand-painted. The grille is a first for Rolls in having two finishes simultaneously, inspired by the part-brushed, part-polished hands of the owner’s son’s favoured Vacheron Constantin timepiece.
The 22-inch wheels are highly polished on the outside, but in certain lights you can just about make out a hint of mauve – a nod to the owner’s favourite jacket’s lairy lining.
