The ultra-exclusive Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is coming

KUALA LUMPUR: The Concorso D’Eleganza, Villa d’Este 2022 at the shores of Lake Como in Italy concluded this weekend. The main attraction of the event was the highly exclusive Rolls-Royce Boat Tail model.

Elaborating on the model’s exclusivity nature, the one scheduled for showcasing is the third of its kind and last as well. Thus, delivering the kind of uniqueness expected by Rolls-Royce coachbuilding clients.

The 3rd and the last Rolls-Royce Boat Tail unit was commissioned as a tribute to the buyer’s dad, who started the family pearl business.

Here are a few key highlights of the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail -

• It is a hand-built car that features a unique ‘oyster and soft rose’ colour with a pearlescent finish that adapts to the light
• The ‘cognac colour’ bonnet is designed specifically for the model and features aluminium and bronze flakes along with an ice matt and crystalised coating

• At the rear is present a bespoke ‘hosting suite’ with an umbrella and a unique ‘butterfly design’ dining set
• The cabin features walnut-coloured leather with rose gold accents and a walnut veneer
• Pearlescent finish leather is used on the seats, dashboard, centre console, and armrest
• The transmission tunnel is made from walnut veneer with gold pinstripes (the same design as seen on the rear deck)

• The walnut tone is chosen for its maturing nature over the time and eventually ends up looking like the cognac-coloured bonnet
• Other strong visual elements on the inside include a mother-of-pearl timepiece (supplied by the client) along with control switches and instrument dials in the same prised material

Alex Innes, Rolls-Royce head of Coachbuild design said, “Boat Tail is a step-change in ingenuity and creative liberty. Building a motor car by hand offers a new realm of exploration and possibility: we can accomplish things and resolve challenges that normal industrialised methods would prohibit. This is the tale of two worlds: a modern motor car of contemporary design, made possible by historical techniques and time-honoured craft. It is truly, one-of-a-kind.”
