Luxury carmaker Rolls-Royce has finally unveiled ‘Boat Tail’, the world’s most expensive car. Boat Tail is a 19-foot-long four-seater premium car. This is the first Rolls-Royce car counted off under the new Coach Build program of a luxury car manufacturer.
The boat tail car is inspired by the Rolls-Royce Sweptail car. This was a one-time model that was the most expensive car ever from a luxury car maker. It was sold for 12.8 million pounds back in 2017.
Rolls-Royce took their twitter to announce this luxurious launch

The Idea behind this masterpiece
The name Boat Tail refers to the Rolls-Royce car’s rear which is shaped like a J-class racing classic yacht. It took more than four years for Roll-Royce employees to hand-curate this car. Only three models of the 2021 Boat Tail will be hitting the floors.
Rolls-Royce had customized the Sweptail car on the request from a very wealthy European. The 2021 Boat Tail is no exception in the league. According to Rolls-Royce, the three patrons who collectively had a conversation with the brand’s designers to build this super-luxury vehicle shared a single demand: “Show me something that I have never seen before.”

Boat Tail’s features and specifications
The cherry in the car’s design is at the rear, which resembles the rear view of a luxury speedboat. Under the two Caleidolegno wooden lids are housed two elegant and exclusive compartments. The lids open like butterfly wings to reveal the boot space which open up like the most refined outdoor picnic set-up.
Inside the car one would find a dual champagne cooler which was customised by the owner along with Rolls-Royce designers, to fit bottles of the patron’s favourite Armand de Brignac vintage. On the other side is a set of crockery by Christofle of Paris. Even the smallest items here have been hand-engraved with the car’s name to give them exclusivity. The on-board fridge also keeps the Caviar cool besides other food compartments.
Torsten Muller-Otvos, CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars commenting on the rear view of the car said that, “What you see here in the back is probably, technically, the most refined picnic facility on Earth.”
The car has an exclusive and prominent sun visor, more expensive than many modern cars. It protects the occupants from the sun, for whom picnic chairs with a carbon fiber frame have been designed too, so that it can enhance the look as well as provide more comfort.
Removable trays keep snacks at a comfortable height. Adding more shine to the car’s element, the Swiss watchmaker Bovey 1822 has created an exclusive watch for this Boat Tail. There is also a 15-speaker sound system that has been modified to use the car’s platform as a sound box and giving the car a more exclusive and eminent look.
Engine’s specification
The 2021 Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is powered by the same engine used in the Cullinan, Phantom and Black Badge. The V12 6.75 biturbo engine is capable of generating 563 HP of power.
