"Project Nightingale is founded on the design principles that shape the essence of Rolls-Royce—magnificent proportions, perfect surface finishing, and clear, refined lines—yet it elevates them into an entirely new realm. For me, this groundbreaking car is both inevitable and unexpected, and it signals the future direction of Rolls-Royce design."
Domagoj Dukec, Design Director, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars announces 'Project Nightingale' as the first in its 'Coachbuild Collection.' The name 'Nightingale' is derived from the French 'Le Rossignol' and is named after the home of designers and engineers near Henry Royce's winter villa on the Côte d'Azur. This special two-seater open-top model carves a new frontier in Rolls-Royce's design expression.
With its magnificent proportions and a uniquely quiet open-top experience enabled by its all-electric drivetrain, this collection strongly reflects the spirit of the glamorous and confident era of the 1920s and 1930s, while maintaining a thoroughly modern design. The creative vision has been fully realized, with the few remaining design details awaiting the introduction of new manufacturing technologies currently under development. Only 100 units will be produced worldwide, all hand-coachbuilt with exceptional craftsmanship at the home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood.
Project Nightingale and the Coachbuild Collection program were conceived for true aesthetes who love beauty and value feeling it in their lives. These clients are united by a shared appreciation for the importance of Rolls-Royce design, the value of the world's most thoughtfully considered automobiles, and a deep understanding of the special experiences only Rolls-Royce can offer. Currently, clients of this Coachbuild Collection are participating in a multi-year program of curated gatherings and special moments, where they are exposed to the creative and technical formation of their cars and are invited to private events around the world.
Streamlined Beauty, Speed, and the Discipline of Pure, Monolithic Form
The car's design is inspired by the principles of late Art Deco Streamline Moderne, where precise lines and uninterrupted forms are more powerfully expressed than ornamentation. Embracing this spirit, the Rolls-Royce creative team pursued a sense of pure, monolithic volume.
Another source of inspiration was the experimental 'EX' models produced by Rolls-Royce in the 1920s. These were distinguished by a red badge, and Project Nightingale is similarly equipped. Among the rarest and most fascinating cars in the brand's history, the 16EX and 17EX are particularly important references.
These models were built in 1928, at the height of the Jazz Age and just three years after the Art Deco style was named. Henry Royce and his engineers wrapped two powerful Phantom chassis in lightweight aluminum bodies to pursue new top speeds. The 16EX and 17EX exceeded 90 mph (approx. 145 km/h), and their bold, torpedo-shaped forms symbolized the ambition of Rolls-Royce at the time. They were characterized by an imposing presence, a long bonnet, a shallowly raked windscreen, and a cabin that deeply enveloped its occupants.
From this historical context, the coachbuild designers extracted three principles to shape Project Nightingale: Upright to flowing, Central fuselage, and Flying wings.
Project Nightingale masterfully embodies these principles in a new and unprecedented way, at once familiar to those versed in the Rolls-Royce story, yet boldly contemporary.
Frontal Aspect
At 5.76 meters long, Project Nightingale is nearly the same length as the flagship Rolls-Royce Phantom saloon, yet it is designed as a two-seater convertible. The electric powertrain eliminates the need for the large cooling intakes required by an internal combustion engine, enabling an unprecedentedly wide and uninterrupted surface between the outermost edge of the front wings and the Pantheon grille.
The grille is a bold reinterpretation of one of Rolls-Royce's most recognized icons. Its imposing frame, nearly a meter wide, exudes the presence of being carved from a single block of stainless steel, with 24 bars etched behind it. The Spirit of Ecstasy is placed in a slight recess at the top of the grille, its lines flowing rearward, creating the impression of the statue parting the water's surface as it moves.
Below the grille, a structural section extends from both lower corners at a 45-degree angle, then descends vertically, with a carbon fiber apron projecting forward. A graceful chrome belt surrounds this, creating the effect of the grille resting on a structural pedestal. This is reminiscent of an Art Deco skyscraper, where the uppermost decorative floor soars above the solid geometric structure that supports it.
At the outermost edge of the front wings are one of Project Nightingale's most advanced design elements: slim, vertical headlights. This design is accentuated by a polished stainless-steel band that runs the entire length of the car, from the bottom edge of the headlights to the taillights.
Torpedo Form - The Smoothly Connected Central Fuselage Profile
From the side, Project Nightingale's driver-focused torpedo design is clearly evident. The elongated bonnet leads to a sharply raked windscreen, flanked by delicate quarter-light windows framed in stainless steel, inspired by the Phantom Drophead Coupé. Behind this lies a compact two-person cabin set deep within the bodywork, with a low, sloping, and tapering rear deck. This bold composition of bonnet and tail contrasts the intimate, special space of the two-seater cabin with the imposing volume of the body.
Project Nightingale features a single, continuous hull line from front to rear, inspired by the line that separates a yacht's hull from its superstructure. This line begins at the sculptural 'Pinnacles' on the front wings—a subtle reference to traditional Rolls-Royce design—and flows smoothly to the rear edge. Intentionally set high, this line creates a sense of being deeply enveloped within the car. The raised section behind the headrests, like a stand-up collar, protects the driver and passenger from external elements like wind and rain, integrating the height of the headrests as part of the car's sculpture.
In the lower body, a three-dimensional recess emphasizes the central fuselage, balanced by a supporting carbon fiber sill. This side sill is a subtle nod to the traditional Rolls-Royce running board.
Furthermore, a discreet decorative element has been added to the rear: another thin band of polished stainless steel just behind the center of the rear wheel, its position and proportion reminiscent of the gentle white wake that forms behind a yacht.
Extreme care has been taken with the surface finishing to make the exterior appear as if carved from a single solid block. To minimize visual noise, the coach door handles incorporate an inconspicuous locking mechanism and a subtle indicator light. The iconic Rolls-Royce 'Badge of Honour' is discreetly represented as a refined stainless steel 'Double R' monogram on both front wings and in the center of the luggage compartment.
In calculated contrast to this serenity, the 24-inch wheels, the largest ever for a Rolls-Royce, create a striking effect. The wheel design is inspired by a yacht's propeller as seen from below the water's surface, making the car appear to be in constant motion even when stationary. The surface features a finely machined striped pattern, giving the impression of wire-wheel spokes spinning at high speed. Aluminum flakes are scattered within the black finish, creating a subtle sparkle as the wheels rotate.
An Imposing Tail Design
Towards the rear, the body surface flares out around the rear wheel arches, lending a stable impression that balances the overall elegance. The deck above is intentionally kept horizontal, accented by two precisely engineered rear lamps that drop almost perpendicularly from the top surface. This striking design is further emphasized by the cantilevered, sideways-opening 'Piano Boot,' which elevates a functional action into a special moment of arrival.
A single vertical brake light is placed in the rear center, reminiscent of a Streamline Moderne speed stripe. Below it, a chrome number plate frame, finished with the precision of a watch bezel, is embedded, showcasing a special design with meticulous attention to detail.
Below this, similar precision is reflected in the engineering. The bold design of the rear diffuser, the 'Aero Afterdeck,' was made possible by the adoption of an all-electric powertrain, which requires no exhaust pipes. This single-piece carbon fiber component ensures high-speed stability without the need for a spoiler, maintaining the smooth lines of Project Nightingale's elegant silhouette.
Open-Air Serenity, Closed-Roof Drama
Project Nightingale delivers a serene and open driving experience with the roof down. With the roof up, the atmosphere transforms, exuding the imposing presence of a coupé.
The roof features a proprietary sound-insulating material combining cashmere, fabric, and high-performance composites. Coupled with the exceptional quietness of the electric powertrain, it achieves outstanding silence whether the soft-top roof is open or closed. However, emotive driving sounds, such as the patter of rain on the canvas, have been intentionally preserved.
Interior Suite: A World for Two
This remarkable quietness became the central design inspiration for Project Nightingale's interior. During test drives of early prototypes, Rolls-Royce designers noticed that the sound of birdsong was surprisingly clear. Fascinated by this experience and in homage to the car's name, they studied recordings of a nightingale's call and analyzed its unique soundwave patterns. From this research, an idea was born to translate the rhythm of the bird's song into a visual form that envelops the occupants.
The result is the 'Starlight Breeze Suite.' It is a flowing, constellation-like illumination composed of 10,500 stars in three subtly different sizes. Named for the gentle breeze-like movement of the nightingale's song, this light pattern is inspired by the soundwave shapes the designers studied. Extending from the front of each door to surround the driver and passenger, this lighting envelops the occupants in their own celestial world, expressing melody through light.
The light of the Starlight Breeze is integrated into a sculptural interior form called the 'Horseshoe,' an architectural design that rises from behind the seats to embrace the occupants.
The leather on the inner door panels is layered with three-dimensional parts reminiscent of an exquisitely crafted saddle, a design that continues to the leather saddle-style armrest on the center console. This armrest is precisely aligned with the coachline that runs the length of the bonnet, through the cabin, to the central rear brake light.
When the coach door is opened, the armrest automatically slides backward to reveal the Spirit of Ecstasy rotary controller. This controller is operated by a tactile stainless-steel ring with four engraved grooves, reminiscent of high jewelry. The inside of the grooves is faceted and then glass-blasted for a subtle, low-gloss finish. This jewelry-like decoration is applied throughout the interior to the gear selector and other rotary controllers, which have been carefully limited to five.
With another press of a button, the armrest moves further back to reveal a personal compartment. Machined aluminum cup holders add a jewel-like accent, and a hidden shelf behind the seats for luggage provides thoughtful, practical touches for long, leisurely journeys.
Bespoke Expression for Project Nightingale
Rolls-Royce is developing an entirely new palette of colors, materials, and bespoke elements for Project Nightingale. These will not be used on any other Rolls-Royce car. All 100 units will be meticulously curated to reflect the personality, tastes, and vision of the client.
The 'EX' Specification Unveiled Today
This EX model, unveiled today, reflects the design spirit of Project Nightingale. The exterior paint is inspired by the 1928 experimental 17EX, not merely reproducing its design but reinterpreting it. The pale solid blue hue, named Côte d'Azur Blue, has a subtle red flake that glimmers depending on the light, a subtle nod to the red badges once worn by the EX models and used as a symbol that Project Nightingale is a production concept. The exterior is finished with a silver convertible soft-top roof.
The interior color scheme evokes the serene atmosphere of the Côte d'Azur. The seats are upholstered in a soft, pastel Charles Blue, combined with Grace White to create a calm space filled with gentle sunlight. Deep Navy seat inserts add contrast and depth, while Peony Pink accents, inspired by the wildflowers of the Riviera, are found around the fascia and on the headrests. The overall color scheme is completed by open-pore blackwood that fans upward in a V-shape, naturally drawing the eye to the sky.
Refined Engineering
Project Nightingale is equipped with the brand's proprietary all-electric powertrain. The quiet and smooth power delivery enhances all the elements that have shaped the Rolls-Royce experience for over a century, and the characteristics of this powertrain open up new design possibilities. Further technical details will be released as testing and development progress worldwide.
