The Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire Droptail, the world’s most expensive car, is priced at $30 million (approximately Rs. 211 crore). Unlike previous four-seater models, the La Rose Noire is a two-seater supercar with a removable hardtop. It features a twin-turbo 6.75-liter V-12 engine, producing 563 bhp and 820 Nm of torque. The car’s body is crafted from carbon, steel, and aluminum.

Measuring 5.3 meters in length and 2 meters in width, the La Rose Noire Droptail’s body color changes when viewed from different angles. The unique paint was developed through 150 tests and a secret base blend. Its design is inspired by the Black Baccara rose petals found in France. Inside, the car boasts a minimalistic design with exquisite wood craftsmanship on the dashboard. The dark red leather seats complement the rose-petals-themed exterior.

The development of this super luxury car took two years, with an additional nine months for production.
