Why it matters
Project Nightingale is an all-electric two-seat convertible concept from Rolls-Royce that is intended to go into limited production, and it opens the marque's new Coachbuild Collection of limited-series models. Only 100 examples are planned.

Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.
02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model production"Only 100 examples will be created for sale" (planned) | 1001 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Rolls-Royce showed Project Nightingale to a small invited group at Goodwood under non-disclosure agreements. It fills the gap left when the Dawn convertible went out of production in 2023, but is a different car: a two-seat droptop about the size of the Phantom, built on its own take of the Architecture of Luxury spaceframe. The name recalls the Royce residence on the French Riviera known as Le Rossignol, and the design takes cues from the experimental 16EX and 17EX cars of the 1920s.
Deliveries of the limited production version are planned from 2028, to clients personally invited by Rolls-Royce.
