Rolls-Royce Boat Tail: The Most Expensive Car Today
The Allure of the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail
The Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is not just a car but the epitome of bespoke luxury. Snippets of its elegance are caught in this interview.
A Masterpiece of Automotive Art
Inspiration and Design Philosophy
The inspiration comes from the lines of a J-Class yacht; from the tradition of the marque Rolls-Royce; from the desire to produce something that exceeds the mundane.
Craftsmanship and Customization
Rolls-Royce has long been synonymous with the highest levels of bespoke luxury. The Boat Tail raises the bar even greater: every example is unique in its own right, fitted to the owner’s individual taste and style.
Engineering Excellence
Powertrain and Performance
Though striking looking, the Boat Tail’s outward appearance is little more than a veneer laid over a beastly-engineered engine that produces the highest level of comfort, while keeping the vehicle light and agile enough to handle like a dream.
Advanced Technology
The Boat Tail embodies the need for innovation: its infotainment systems are state-of-the-art, and it comes with a wide range of safety features to make driving more enjoyable.
The Bespoke Experience
Tailored Luxury
It’s not just about the drive. To own this car is an experience tailored to your specific preferences. Few cars allow you to go so deep in personalisation as the Boat Tail.
Personalized Features
From the custom paintwork to an entirely unique interior finish, it can be ‘tailored by the owner to reflect their personality’, as a spokesperson put it. This is as close anyone has come to creating art through machineries of engineering.
Unique Materials
Rarity and beauty are hallmarks of Rolls-Royce, which provides a jewel-like experience in its Boat Tail: hand-polished wood veneers, a cashmere headliner, selections of leather for interior surfaces and hides ‘carefully chosen for their beauty and quality.’
The Nautical Theme
A Celebration of Yachting
It draws upon the world of sailing yachts, and form follows function as you can follow its lines from bow to stern and take the place of a yacht captain.
The Rear Deck Concept
The most visually arresting design element of the Boat Tail is the rear deck that folds out like a beach tailgate for postway picnics – or, given the sumptuous dcor of the vehicle, for a hotel-like soiree with parasol, cocktail tables, and refrigerator.
The Hosting Suite
The suite doesn’t just host, it experiences. When you nose the vehicle up to a scenic spot and open the rear deck, it’s like pulling up at a four-star campground and indulging yourself in a Continental-class picnic spread.
Exclusivity and Rarity
Limited Production
There will be only 99 of the Boat Tails ever made, making every one a piece of automotive art that is unlikely to be repeated. By nature of its exclusivity, such a car exudes the aura of prestige.
Ownership and Prestige
Owning a Rolls-Royce Boat Tail bears witness to one’s biographic status (symbolic capital) and taste; it signals the consumer as part of a special, distinguished elite of people who deserve, or ought to deserve, the good things of life.
Conclusion
But there’s perhaps no vehicle in the world other than the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail that so seamlessly integrates luxury, technology and artisanal craft into the art of locomotion, of elevated transportation, and – to be honest – of hedonism. This isn’t a car you merely drive to town in or hop in for your 50-mile commute to Silicon Valley or Manhattan and back. This is a car you go driving in, a transcendent machine.
