Rolls-Royce Unveils Project Nightingale, a 100-Unit Electric Coachbuilt Convertible

The invite-only, 100-car run signals a push to fuse bespoke coachbuilding with electrification.

Overview

  • Rolls-Royce introduced Project Nightingale as the first model in its new Coachbuild Collection, a handbuilt, two-seat electric convertible measuring about 5.76 meters.
  • Only 100 cars will be offered on invitation, with each commission designed in close consultation with its buyer and built at Goodwood, with deliveries planned from 2028.
  • The company has not released performance, range, or pricing details, while outlets including FAZ and Bloomberg report estimates around £3 million or $3.5 million.
  • The design draws on late Art Deco and Streamline Moderne cues, with a long hood, a near one-meter Pantheon grille, and a pared-back cabin that features intricate ambient lighting.
  • The launch extends Rolls-Royce’s cautious shift to battery power after Spectre, even as the brand keeps some combustion programs alive to satisfy clients who remain wary of full electrification.
