Rolls-Royce revealed the Droptail earlier this month at Monterey Car Week, with plans to build just four units. The first Droptail was named La Rose Noire, and now Rolls-Royce is showing off the second Droptail, called Amethyst.

The wealthy customer who ordered this Droptail formerly worked at a gemstone shop and collects jewels, hence the amethyst inspiration for this exclusive convertible.
