DESCRIPTION:

The Grand Rotunda receives a large design update for the 2027 model year. Although it is 2026 model year currently, the facelift has been released early so that it can be sold alongside the 2026 Grand Rotunda for the next year so that customers have a choice between the traditional angular Atkins design and the new angles and curves design of the 2027 Grand Rotunda. The new changes are aesthetically radical, and to sway potential growing pains when concerning the public on the new design, Atkins has decided to release it early so that the older model is still available for Atkins buyers longing for the traditional Atkins look.

Overview/Description of the design and design inspiration.

The Atkins Grand Rotunda V12 DLU is a masterpiece of automotive design, blending the grandeur of the Art Deco era of the 1930s with the bold, extravagant styling of late 1950s American automobiles. This ultra-luxury sedan captures the essence of classic opulence while incorporating futuristic elements that make it a true statement piece.

Front Design

• Commanding Grille: The front end is defined by an immense, upright grille with an intricate geometric pattern, reminiscent of the elaborate, symmetrical designs of Art Deco architecture. Its presence is further accentuated by bold chrome accents, evoking the grandeur of the 1930s.
• Vertical Headlights: The headlight design is heavily influenced by both classic limousines of the early 20th century and the towering tailfins of late 1950s American cars. Featuring an LED signature, these lights are framed within sculpted, chrome-lined housings that cascade down toward the lower bumper.
• Sculpted Hood with Ornament: A long, sweeping hood channels the elegance of vintage luxury cars, topped with a striking hood ornament that serves as a proud emblem of prestige.
• Layered Chrome Front Fascia: The lower front bumper features an intricate, tiered chrome treatment, echoing the excess and craftsmanship of both the Streamline Moderne movement and the bold, sculpted chrome bumpers of the late 1950s.

Side Profile

• Long, Stately Silhouette: The Grand Rotunda’s immense wheelbase and elongated proportions take direct inspiration from the chauffeur-driven limousines of the 1930s, ensuring an unparalleled presence on the road.
• Sculpted Chrome Accents: The side panels feature striking angular creases, with bold chrome inlays running along the doors and fenders. This detailing recalls the lavish side trim found on high-end American sedans of the late 1950s.
• Aerodynamic Side Mirrors: The chrome-accented side mirrors have a sleek, almost futuristic shape, blending modern technology with classic styling.
• Multi-Spoke Wheels with Retro Flair: The large, intricately designed wheels feature a turbine-like pattern, inspired by the wire-spoke wheels of Art Deco automobiles, but with a polished, contemporary twist.

Rear Design

• Dramatic Tailfin-Inspired Taillights: One of the most striking features is the horizontal, wraparound taillights, which incorporate elements of the iconic tailfins from 1950s Cadillacs and Lincolns. The LED illumination follows a sweeping arc, reinforcing the car’s vintage-meets-modern aesthetic.
• High Trunk Line and Chrome Accents: The elevated trunk and sculpted rear bumper are adorned with extensive chrome detailing, capturing the excess and craftsmanship of mid-century American automotive design.
• Integrated Exhaust Outlets: The exhaust system is seamlessly incorporated into the rear bumper, maintaining a refined yet powerful presence.
• Classic Script Badging: The “Grand Rotunda” script is elegantly placed on the rear, recalling the graceful, cursive badging of vintage luxury automobiles.

Overall Theme

The Grand Rotunda is a stunning blend of past and future, evoking the luxurious excess of the 1930s Art Deco era while embracing the bold, chrome-heavy styling of 1950s American cars. It takes inspiration from the streamlined forms of vintage limousines, the grandiose presence of mid-century Cadillacs and Imperials, and the innovation of modern luxury sedans.

Every element, from its ornate chrome detailing to its sweeping, sculpted bodywork, is designed to command attention and exude unmatched presence and craftsmanship.
