27 May Rolls-Royce unveils its first EV cabriolet called Nightingale

(Oilandgaspress) -–Rolls-Royce Motor Cars presents Project Nightingale, a Coachbuild Collection.of open-top two-seater electric limousine.

Defined by grand proportions and a uniquely silent open-top experience, it draws on the glamour and confidence of the 1920s and 1930s while remaining entirely of its time.

The motor car’s name derives from ‘Le Rossignol’ (French for ‘the nightingale’), a residence on Sir Henry Royce’s Côte d’Azur estate, built for his designers and engineers. Project Nightingale also draws inspiration from Rolls-Royce’s red-badged ‘EX’ experimental prototypes of the 1920s — particularly 16EX and 17EX — some of the rarest
and most desirable motor cars in Rolls-Royce’s history.

These foundations informed Project Nightingale’s three core principles.

The production concept’s design is further dramatised by a Piano Boot which opens sideways, transforming a functional moment into a considered act of arrival.

A leather-covered saddle armrest at the centre of the cabin aligns precisely
with the Coachline that runs the length of the bonnet and to the rear central brake light. 24-inch wheels are inspired by the propellers of a yacht viewed from beneath the waterline: forms that appear to be in continuous motion even when stationary.
