Rolls-Royce has just welcomed its newest member of the family - the Arcadia Droptail.

This luxurious car comes with a heart-stopping price tag of $31 million and its name derives from ancient Greek mythology, translating to 'Heaven on Earth.'

The vehicle was specifically commissioned for an unnamed client who was involved during all of its creative stages.

The wood craftmanship of the interior, including the dashboard, took 8,000 hours to create. The vehicle also features carbon fibre that has been layered like a Formula One car.

Most notably, its dashboard area includes 'the most complex Rolls-Royce clock face ever created' - which took five months alone to construct.

According to the Rolls-Royce website: 'With 119 facets, the clock’s guilloché pattern symbolises the marque’s heritage — the client first previewed their coachbuilt commission in the same year that Rolls‑Royce celebrated its 119-year anniversary.'

"[...]The marker is finished in a ceramic coating chosen for its stability over time as well as aesthetic merits.'

Additionally, the dash area includes 76-piece rear deck that reaches the car’s brake lights and was 'laid at a perfect 55° angle' for better aerodynamics.

Under the hood, the vehicle boasts a powerful V-12 engine, as well as 22-inch alloy wheels. The car's exterior is finished in a special solid white paint 'infused with aluminium and glass particles' so that when the sun glares on it, the new tint gives off an appearance of 'unending depth'.

For the end client, the automotive company also added a personal touch to the vehicle which was a distinctive wooden layout of 233 total pieces - the client’s favourite desk and coffee table.

The final exterior wood finish aims to provide protection in all weathers, and undoubtedly gives the vehicle its signature look.

'This became a catalyst for the rest of the specification,' Alex Innes, head of Rolls-Royce’s Coachbuild department said.

Innes also commented that the Arcadia is meant to hold a resemblance to the vehicles that were represented in 'The Great Gatsby' a century ago.

Commenting on its most bespoke design yet, the automaker calls it 'the epitome of quiet irreverence, celebrating purity of form and natural materials while serving as a bold statement of the client’s personal taste.'
