Rolls-Royce has unveiled a one-of-a-kind bespoke Droptail coachbuilt luxury motor - the third of four commissioned individually by a super-wealthy customer - that costs a jaw-dropping £25million!
Named Arcadia – after the mythical 'Heaven on Earth' of Ancient Greek legend – the sumptuous two-seater roadster has been uniquely fashioned over more than four years to fit the character and tastes of the wealthy commissioning client who was presented with it today at a private ceremony in Singapore.
Special weather-proofed wood inlay sections alone took 8,000 hours to create, the British marque confirmed.

Rolls-Royce said the Arcadia Droptail was envisioned by the unnamed client - an international entrepreneur with with homes around the globe.

But behind the serenity is a vast 6.6-litre twin turbo V12 engine developing 593bhp – almost as much a Lamborghini Huracan supercar – linked to an 8-speed automatic gearbox that propels it from rest to 62mph in around five seconds.
