Price: $28.0 Million for a Rolls-Royce Boat Tail (est.)

With the stunning new Boat Tail, Rolls-Royce has returned to coachbuilding. The Boat Tail is a follow-up to the magnificent Sweptail from 2017 – which cost an estimated $12.8 million – and features a unique two-tone exterior, special high-end finishes inside, and even a "hosting suite" with a champagne fridge and built-in sun parasol. Although Rolls-Royce does not publicly disclose pricing for one-of-a-kind designs like this, the Boat Tail is said to have cost a stunning $28.0 million new.

Rolls-Royce recently introduced its Boat Tail with user input, cementing its place among the world's most costly automobiles. Its characteristics are also unrivaled. The first Rolls-Royce Boat Tail costs $28 million, or approximately Rs 202 crores. The company's specialized Coachbuild division created this vehicle.

The Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is the first car with a cocktail table and an extended umbrella. The Rolls Royce Boat Tail is a four-seater luxury car with a length of 19 feet that will be released in 2021.

Rather of being convertible, the roof of the Rolls Royce Boat Tail is totally removable. The owner can open the back deck by pressing a button. The back of the car raises up automatically, revealing an umbrella. This vehicle is ideal for those who enjoy the ultimate in luxury. This car has a separate champagne chiller to accommodate the owner's choice bottle.

The car shares the same powertrain as the Rolls-Royce Phantom, which features a 6.75-litre, 563-hp twin-turbo V12 engine.

In 2017, the Rolls-Royce Sweptail was the most expensive vehicle ever sold. In terms of luxury, the 2021 Rolls-Royce boat tail has now surpassed this automobile.

The Sweptail, a massive Phantom-based one-off coupe with an entirely bespoke coachbuilt body, was unveiled by Rolls-Royce in 2017. It was the first of its sort from Rolls in the contemporary period. Following the unveiling of the Sweptail, Rolls-Royce received several requests for custom vehicles, prompting the business to announce today that Coachbuild will be spun off into its own branch. But three clients in particular had very similar ideas about what they wanted, and the new Boat Tail was formed after four years of development.

Three Boat Tails will be created, one for each of the customers, with each having its own distinctive style components, color and trim specifications, and special features. Only one car has been produced so far, the blue one shown below, and Rolls-Royce hasn't revealed anything about the other two. That's okay, because the first one is just wonderful.

The style is unique.

Unlike the Sweptail, which was constrained by the old Phantom's platform, which dates from the early twentieth century, the Boat Tail is built on Rolls-own Royce's Architecture of Luxury, a modular platform that underpins the current Phantom, Cullinan, and Ghost, and which, crucially, shares nothing with BMW. This means Rolls-Royce engineers can design almost anything they want without having to compromise on engineering, and the AoL platform is built to accommodate full electrification in the future. Although Rolls-Royce hasn't revealed all of the details, we do know that this model will use the same twin-turbo V12 as the rest of the Rolls-Royce lineup. There's no information on whether it has all-wheel drive or rear-wheel steering, both of which are possible with the AoL platform.

The Boat Tail is immediately distinguishable from any other current Rolls-Royce, according to Head of Coachbuild Design Alex Innes, who describes the car as "a moment in my career that will probably never be reproduced." It's nearly 2 feet longer than the Dawn, and even longer than the original Phantom Drophead, at nearly 228 inches. The design is influenced by prewar boat-tail automobiles (including certain coachbuilt Rolls-Royces), with amazing proportions and a sweeping rear end that pinches in as you move further back. It's a wonderful take on the boat-tail rear end that isn't vintage or tacky in the least.

The Boat Tail is entirely made by hand. With one noticeable crease running from the leading edge of the front fender all the way to the taillights and a second, lower rising line connecting to the wheel arches, the body surfacing is limited. All of the lower body elements beneath that lower crease are composed of exposed carbon fiber, and a strip of chrome encircles the entire car just beneath that lower crease, coming up at the back of the car.

The Boat Tail's visage appears to be unique when compared to Rolls-current Royce's production automobiles. Instead of looking tacked-on, the Pantheon grille is an integrated part of the front end, with no chrome surround and only chrome slats inserted in the recessed hole. The grille's top is a smooth curve that flows into the hood, which has a modest groove in the middle and minimal lines elsewhere.

The grille and the narrow set of LED headlamps are topped by a lengthy chrome strip that extends over the front end. A circular, recessed lighting on each end, a throwback to the previous-gen Phantom, sits beneath those lights. Customers requested these lights, and they give the front a more vintage appeal. Except for a horizontal grille opening and minor character lines around the headlamps, the front end is bare. The Rolls-Royce logo is integrated into a comparable full-width chrome band above superslim horizontal LED taillights.

The windshield, in particular, is stunning, with totally wraparound glass that stops at the gently swept-back chrome A-pillars. However, it's actually three panes of glass, with little quarter windows covered over additional upright supports. The Boat Tail sports a set of smaller quarter windows as well as conventional retractable side windows.

While Rolls-Royce claims that its clients did not specifically request a roof and that the Boat Tail was intended without one, the business has produced a fixed roof for the vehicle. The top has a glass rear window and two carbon fiber upright supports, while the main top part is composed of fabric and has extensions that attach into the deck, giving it a flying buttress appearance. This roof requires multiple persons to install and remove, but the car also includes a tonneau cover in the event of an emergency or when the car will be stored outside without access to the roof.

The hue is one of this Boat Tail's distinguishing traits. The client's favorite color is blue, and the hue's precise name matches the couple's last name, so the company is simply calling it "Blue" to keep their identities hidden. The Boat Tail's hood has a gradient look, with a dark blue leading edge that fades into the rest of the body's colour as it approaches the windshield, a first for a production Rolls-Royce. The gradient on the hood was hand-painted, according to Rolls-Royce, with the panel fixed to the wall like an easel and sprayed in a single pass. Because the client didn't like the look of the totally polished final versions when given with early paint samples, this was done so the bodywork wouldn't have a perfect finish. The 21-inch wheels are also unique to this car, and they're painted in dark blue with light blue inlays, which contrast with the pinstriped tires.

The hosting package

The entire back deck is composed of open-pore dark gray Caleidolegno wood, with stainless-steel stripes that resemble the hull of a boat. This wood is usually reserved for interiors, but Rolls-Royce was able to adapt it for exterior use, and the striping and grain are ideally matched to the car's lines. The top area of the rear bumper has wood and steel elements as well.

The focal point of this Boat Tail is beneath that magnificent back deck. The owners are a couple who enjoy throwing dinner parties, thus the deck transforms into a "hosting suite" perfect for the world's most opulent picnics at the touch of a button. It is a "engineering masterpiece," according to Rolls-Innes, Royce's and it gives the automobile a significant sense of occasion. The two lockable panels unfold in a butterfly motion at a 67-degree angle, hinged at the middle. The panels' undersides are chrome-plated, while the elaborate internal cabinets are made of carbon.

When the panels are opened, two chests appear at a 15-degree angle. A full set of dishes and cutlery is on the right side, while a double refrigerator, a set of Champagne glasses, napkins, and other items for enjoying bubbly are on the left. The Boat Tail comes with their favorite vintage of Armand de Brignac, as the proprietors are Champagne connoisseurs. The bottles are, of course, custom-fit to the hosting suite's housings and polished and finished in complementary blue tones. The temperature in the fridge is even tuned to the ideal serving temperature for this particular Champagne. Everything in the suite is handcrafted and engraved, and there are no replacements, according to Rolls-Royce. Rolls will have to create new ones if anything breaks.

On each side, a cocktail table finished in similar wood rotates in a way that mimics "the offering of an attendant," and a pair of leather and carbon-fiber folding stools stows beneath them. A parasol(!) located in the center of the rear deck may be deployed once the two panels are opened. The parasol, which was designed from the ground up by Rolls-Royce, has carbon-fiber stays and a polished aluminum telescoping assembly. The entire thing opens in an inverted blossoming motion, allowing you to stand right up against the car without getting in the way.

The interior design

Surprisingly, the Boat Tail's dashboard, center console, steering wheel, seats, and door panels appear to be identical to those of the previous Phantom Drophead convertible, rather than the new-generation Phantom with which the Boat Tail shares its modular chassis. The deck and surround for the rear seats appear to be the only notable stylistic differences.

But I think I know why: the owners of this Boat Tail are also watch collectors, and the car comes with a pair of rare Bovet 1822 watches, one for the husband and one for the wife. These are, of course, entire one-of-a-kind items that go with the car. These timepieces are designed to be placed in a titanium cradle in the Boat Tail's fascia to act as the clock while the car is being driven, with a dedicated compartment to store the watch's removable straps.

Aside from the wristwatch, and despite the use of some older components, the Boat Tail's interior looks great thanks to a few extra particular touches. The interior's two-tone blue color scheme mirrors the outside paint, with dark blue front seats and light blue back seats. The interior features bright blue contrast stitching and piping, a metallic sheen on the leather, and a bright blue weave at 55 degrees on the lower carbon-fiber components to resemble the waves of a boat's wake.

To match the deck, the majority of the dash is made of Caleidolegno wood, and veneers can be found on the center console, transmission tunnel, floor, and other areas of the interior. In addition to the current car, the pair owns a classic 1932 Rolls-Royce Boat Tail, which the woman wanted restored while the modern car was being built. Both are depicted on stainless-steel caps at the ends of each armrest, which you must observe and pass by every time you enter or exit. Inside the automobile, Innes compares it to being inside the hull of a boat.

The construction of a coach

As I previously stated, the debut of the Sweptail prompted numerous buyers to approach Rolls-Royce in search of a coachbuilt automobile, but three clients in particular — all couples or families — shared a passion for J-class racing yachts and nautical design. Rolls' designers have always wanted to build a modern Boat Tail, especially given the brand's long history with that body shape, so the three customers were presented with the concept, which they all approved of, according to Rolls. They simply have one request for the designers. "Present me with something I've never seen before."

The three clients had never met and did not communicate during the design and creation process. Customers agreed that the cars could share the same basic body to maintain the coachbuilt feel despite the models being part of a small run. Although these clients were not allowed to participate in the actual design process, they were involved in the creative phase and clearly guided the direction of each of their vehicles. In fact, the Rolls-Royce design team visited each of their homes to learn more about their lives, personalities, and intended applications for their automobiles.

The Boat Tail is chock-full of firsts and superlatives, as one might anticipate. According to Innes, the development period for this project was doubled, and a 100-meter superyacht would be built faster; 1,813 unique parts were designed specifically for the Boat Tail, and Rolls-Royce claims that this automobile is the result of 20 years of design and engineering. It took eight months just to build and reconfigure the body-in-white and aluminum spaceframe. The designers created a full-size clay model of the car in addition to numerous sketches and digital renderings. According to Innes, the designers went to the same lengths as they would for a full production automobile.

Because Rolls' designers didn't have to adhere to existing body mounting points when using AoL architecture, the car's sole genuine body seam or cutline is for the doors. Because the car is entirely hand-built, and the designers were involved throughout the metalworking process, they were able to create surfacing and detailing that typical pressing processes couldn't match. Because they also house the integrated bumpers and much of the side panels, the Boat Tail's front fenders have the single largest square meterage of unbroken form that Rolls-Royce has ever put on a car. Similarly, the UK automaker claims that the deck's wood panels are the largest pieces of wood ever mounted to a vehicle.

The 15-speaker unique audio system in every Rolls-Royce production car employs a piece of the sill as the bass speaker resonance chambers, while the Boat Tail uses the entire floor structure. To ensure that the hosting suite could be implemented, five new ECUs were constructed specifically for the back end of the automobile, which also necessitated the fabrication of a dedicated wire harness, which took nine months. The hosting suite has its own climate-control system in the compartments to keep food fresh, and two fans are attached in the lower half in case of extreme heat — Rolls claims the system was tested between 176 degrees and -4 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it would work in any climate.

All three Boat Tails have been commissioned by persons who vow to drive and use their cars on a regular basis — hence the hosting suite in this one — and all three clients want to use the car as soon as they receive it. These original coachbuilt marvels aren't going to be locked away in a garage for the rest of their lives. As a result, the Boat Tail is completely homologated and road-legal, having undergone the same rigorous dynamic testing as any other Rolls-Royce. The vehicle will be able to be serviced at conventional Rolls-Royce dealerships as well. Rolls, like the equipment in the hosting suite, has no spare parts.

Rolls-Royce has remained tight-lipped on the price of the Boat Tail. The Sweptail was the most expensive new car of all time when it was originally displayed, with an apparent price of just under $13 million, a number that was eclipsed in 2019 by the $18.7 million Bugatti La Voiture Noire. The Boat Tail's development expenditures are spread across three cars, which should help keep the price down a touch — my best guess is that each one will cost the owners roughly $10 million. Are you a billionaire who's gazing at these photographs and wondering if you can get your hands on a Boat Tail? You won't be able to contact your dealer representative because you won't be able to. The car is "not a product offering," according to Rolls-Royce.

The firm also hasn't said when the other two Boat Tails will be released, but once they are, both models will be as intricate as this first one. What about other coachbuilt endeavors? We can expect to see more remarkable one-of-a-kind masterpieces in the near future, thanks to the establishment of the new division. In fact, the next ones are already in the works. We're excited to see them.
