The Rolls-Royce Amethyst Droptail is an ultra-luxurious roadster that features a removable roof, gemstones, and more wood than a small forest
Billed as a “breathtaking coachbuilt masterpiece that celebrates its … client’s cultural heritage, family legacy and personal passions,” the Amethyst Droptail is the second in a series of four cars.
While their identity remains a mystery for now, Rolls-Royce says the client wanted a car inspired by amethyst gems which are the “birthstone of their son and an enduring symbol of purity, clarity and resilience.” Given that, it’s not surprising to learn that precious amethysts are actually incorporated into the interior and exterior.
More notably, the concept’s veneer deck is the “largest wood surface ever produced by Rolls-Royce” and is also the “only aerodynamically functional wood surface on a new motor car.” This meant aerodynamicists and wood specialists had to work together to “experiment with not just the form of the panel, but with different wood-grain textures and the precise angle of the placement of the veneer itself” to get the look and downforce just right.
