The styling of the cars take cues from
yachts, classic Rolls-Royce
roadsters, and 1930s
hot rods from the
West Coast of the United States, with additional styling and engineering cues taken from the world of
horology. The first variation introduced is
La Rose Noire, named for the French
Black Baccara rose. The car includes black
sycamore wood sourced from France, The Droptail uses a new monocoque chassis instead of the aluminium spaceframe chassis mainly used in the other vehicles. It is thus not based on the
Architecture of Luxury platform. It is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.75-litre
N74B68 V12 engine, which is a variant of BMW's
N74. ==References==
