THE SECOND 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.

ROLLS-ROYCE BOAT TAILTAIL

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.

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?)
