Rolls-Royce launches new two-seater electric car
Rolls-Royce has unveiled a new two-seater, electric convertible model. The BMW-owned company said that Project Nightingale is the "most extravagant expression of what Rolls-Royce is capable of today".
Rolls-Royce will create just 100 of the Project Nightingale cars, which will be hand-built at the Rolls-Royce headquarters in Goodwood, West Sussex. The company said Project Nightingale is inspired by its 1920s EX models and the Art Deco era. Project Nightingale will measure 5.76m, which is roughly the same length as its flagship four- or five-seater saloon, Phantom. According to Chris Brownridge, chief executive of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, "Some of the most discerning Rolls-Royce clients in the world asked us for our most ambitious work." He added, "We responded by bringing three things together that have never co-existed in our brand: the complete design freedom of coachbuilding, our powerful, near-silent all-electric powertrain, and a uniquely potent yet serene expression of open-top motoring." The company said Project Nightingale would sit between its Private Commission and Coachbuild products, which have been estimated to cost more than £500,000 and £20m respectively.
Deliveries are anticipated to start in 2028. Last month, Rolls-Royce scrapped its pledge to sell only pure-electric cars from 2030, adding that it would continue to offer vehicles with petrol engines beyond that date.
