ROLLS-ROYCE BOAT TAIL

Last year, Rolls-Royce unveiled the first Rolls-Royce Boat Tail, the most expensive car in the world. Its price? $28 million. Rumor has it that this Rolls-Royce Boat Tail belongs to the couple Jay-Z and Beyoncé. Twelve months later, the British marque made waves at Villa d'Este with this exquisite Rolls-Royce. It made its public debut last month at the Concours d'Eleganza at Villa d'Este in Italy. The buyer of this hyper-luxurious Rolls-Royce remains unknown, perhaps a prince from Qatar? The only thing Rolls-Royce has disclosed is that the owner has ties to the pearl industry. It is described as a car "in honor of the father and family history of a revered client" who made a fortune in the pearl industry, according to Torsten Müller-Ötvös, the CEO of Rolls-Royce.

Moreover, the color of this Rolls-Royce comes from the four shells offered by the owner to the manufacturer for inspiration. As a result, a Rolls-Royce Boat Tail with the most complex finishes ever achieved by the British manufacturer with its Coachbuild division. These shells inspired the exterior color.

The most expensive car in the world is adorned with a pearlescent color, a blend of oyster and soft pink, with large flakes of white and bronze mica. As for the hood, the color is inspired by Cognac, created specifically for this Rolls-Royce Boat Tail and also includes aluminum mica, bronze, and gold. Quite a program. The interior of this Rolls-Royce Boat Tail features a combination of cognac and oyster leathers and royal walnut veneer, with touches of rose gold and mother-of-pearl.

Rolls-Royce Boat Tail price

Each Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is entirely handcrafted by Rolls-Royce's Coachbuild division. The specific price of this unit is not disclosed, but it should be close to that of the first model, set at $28 million. As we write these lines, this second unit out of three Boat Tails is priced at approximately €26.64 million. With two units sold, only one remains, see you next year! (one year for construction?)
