A legacy updated!
Rolls-Royce is more brand than car. Yes, they make some stunning automobiles (sometimes painted with real diamonds), but they’re selling you the idea of luxury rather than a product). The company is known for its large, unassuming cars, with their perfect paint-jobs, stellar interiors, and the Spirit of Ecstacy, but what if they were also known for their automotive design??
Ivan Venkov thinks RR needs an aesthetic refresh. Their work is remarkable but is far from contemporary, he says. The conceptual RR CoupĂ© builds on the design of theSilver Cloud, but gives the entire automobile a series of visual tweaks that make the car look like Rolls-Royce 2.0. Take for starters the headlamps, that opt for the angular, aggressive approach as opposed to Rolls-Royce’s standard horizontal headlamp. All the curves are indicative of flowiness, that deviate from the blockish designs of Rolls-Royce. The result is a car that may be body-heavy, but looks aerodynamic thanks to the use of flowing lines (that side profile steals my heart!).
The rims of the concept car get a chariot-like appearance, saying luxury without literally having to, and my personal favorite is the little lady on the front. The Spirit of Ecstacy gets her avatar updated too. While the older statuette was probably the most flowy/organic thing on the entire car, with the billowing clothes, the new Spirit is definitely more edgy and sculptural, looking modern/contemporary, rather than something you’d see in a museum.
Every inch of the RR CoupĂ© is redesigned, from its remarkable continuous taillight to the angular headlamps, to the Spirit of Ecstacy. What’s remarkable is that even though so much has changed, the Rolls-Royce flavor isn’t lost. If nothing, it’s enhanced, and holds the ability to capture more hearts, don’t you think??

The Extraordinary Exterion
Elegance, charm, luxury, and sophistication – these are only a few words used to describe the design language found across a Rolls-Royce. It’s not easy to translate such strong characteristics and semantics moving forward into future concepts, yet the Rolls-Royce Exterion, designed by Sergey Dvornytskyy, makes this translation almost effortless.
Sprinkling gorgeous elements of the Rolls-Royce brand across this concept, the Exterion is a crisp, sharp concept of the brand’s potential future… a future driven by AI. The car’s stellar form is highlighted by the black surface running all the way from the hood to the back in a continuous streak that seems like a pen-stroke in the side view. The absence of windows reinforces the autonomous nature of the luxury automobile while also giving the car’s side a blue consistency that soothes my soul (I can’t imagine how beautiful the interiors must be). Trading the traditional grill for a more eye-catching gradient pattern and introducing a streamlined curve on the rear of the vehicle – this concept is an unfair tease due to how stunning its appearance is. Roll out the red carpet for the Rolls-Royce Exterion; it most certainly deserves it.
