Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire Spotted Overseas; Here's What Makes It Unique

NDTV4 days ago
Rolls-Royce, the British luxury car manufacturer, unveiled one of the most exclusive cars in its catalog, the Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire, in 2023. It is priced at USD 30 million, making it pricier than the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail and Sweptail. Now, one of the four Droptails has been spotted at Pebble Beach, London. The Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire is credited as the brand's first modern two-seater, ditching the 2+2 configuration of the previously launched droptail models.
The brand claims that the Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire seeks inspiration from the Black Baccara rose. Also, one of the most unique highlights of the La Rose Noire is that the users get a removable carbon fiber roof with the option to choose to get an open-air experience or install a hard roof.

Rolls-Royce used 1,603 pieces of Black Sycamore veneer, symmetrical triangles are punctuated by asymmetrical red segments, creating an abstract artwork of falling rose petals that cosset the driver and passenger. The brand also claims that this creation took over 2 years and nine months for the artisan to create the craft. The other hand-made artwork also includes an abstract petal motif cascading across the aft deck, mirroring the interior parquetry. Resembling a yacht's jib, two angular sail cowls frame the geometric artwork.
Under the hood, the Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire gets a 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 engine, churning out a maximum power and torque output of 563 hp and 847 Nm. It is capable of springing from accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds and boasts a top speed of 155 mph.

Dollar holds firm against euro, yen as US trade pressure mounts

The dollar held gains on Friday after President Donald Trump got his signature tax cut bill across the final hurdle and pressure mounted on countries to secure trade deals with the United States. The greenback rallied from multi-year lows against the euro and British pound hit earlier in the week after stronger than expected U.S. jobs data pushed out the timing for potential rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. New Zealand's kiwi dollar, a common proxy for risk appetite, rose 0.2% to $0.608 after U.S. stocks climbed to new record levels. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives narrowly passed Trump's "One, Big, Beautiful Bill" of spending and tax cuts that is estimated to add $3.4 trillion to the nation's $36.2 trillion debt. With the U.S. closed for Independence Day, attention turns to Trump's July 9 deadline when sweeping tariffs take effect on countries like Japan that have not yet secured trade agreements.

US slaps sanctions on Iran oil smuggling network fuelling Hezbollah and militants

The US Treasury Department on Thursday unveiled a fresh round of sanctions targeting a sophisticated oil smuggling operation and a Hezbollah-linked financial firm, intensifying efforts to choke off Iran's revenue streams that fuel "destabilising activities.""Treasury will continue to target Tehran's revenue sources and intensify economic pressure to disrupt the regime's access to the financial resources that fuel its destabilising activities," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement announcing the the heart of the crackdown is a network allegedly controlled by Iraqi-British national Salim Ahmed Said, which has been buying and shipping billions of dollars' worth of Iranian oil disguised as Iraqi since at least 2020. The Treasury said the group operated a chain of companies that moved crude oil across borders, sidestepping international sanctions. A separate set of sanctions also targeted a financial institution tied to Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group designated as a terrorist organisation by the oil exports have been under severe restrictions due to Iran's nuclear ambitions and its support for proxy groups across the Middle to a 2023 Reuters investigation, a fuel-oil smuggling network flourishing in Iraq since 2022 generates at least $1 billion a year for Iran and its proxies — funds the US now seeks to sanctions came after the US carried out strikes on June 22 on three Iranian nuclear sites including its most deeply buried enrichment plant, Fordow. The Pentagon said on Wednesday the strikes had degraded Iran's nuclear program by up to two years, despite a far more cautious initial assessment that had leaked to the US and Iran are expected to hold indirect talks in Oslo next week to discuss Iran's nuclear programme — though tensions over oil smuggling, sanctions, and recent military actions could overshadow the dialogue.- EndsWith inputs from ReutersMust Watch
