Rolls-Royce launches giant R$ 50 million electric convertible

Rolls-Royce has announced the launch of the Coachbuild Collection, a new division focused on the production of luxury vehicles in limited series. The inaugural model of the line is the Project Nightingale, a two-seater electric convertible that marks an aesthetic transition for the British manufacturer. Production will be restricted to 100 units — all of which have already been booked by invited customers — with deliveries scheduled to begin in 2028.

Built on the aluminum architecture of the Spectre, the Nightingale features generous dimensions. It is 5.76 meters long — equivalent to the size of the Phantom sedan — although the cabin holds only two occupants. The design is inspired by the Streamline Moderne style and boasts the largest wheels ever applied to a series model of the brand, with 24 inches.

The propulsion is fully electric, delivering 659 hp and 91,8 kgfm. The set uses a battery higher than the 107 kWh of the Spectre to guarantee a range close to 530 km, even with the increase in body proportions. The exterior prioritizes continuous surfaces and eliminates apparent air intakes, keeping the traditional Pantheon grille as a central element flanked by exclusive ultra-thin headlights.

Inside, the highlight is the Starlight Breeze Suite system, which incorporates 10,500 individual luminous points to create a star constellation effect in the cabin. The finish allows for extreme customization, with nine exterior colors and eleven leather combinations exclusive to the line. At the rear, the “Piano Boot” trunk has a side opening for easy access.

The Coachbuild Collection sits between one-time orders and regular production models. Although Rolls-Royce does not disclose official prices, estimates indicate that the Nightingale starts at £ 7 million (about R$ 50 million). The final value can rise considerably according to the specifications of each buyer, consolidating the brand’s strategy of focusing on highly customized ultra-luxury vehicles.
