Introducing the epitome of bespoke luxury from Rolls-Royce: the Boattail. This extraordinary masterpiece, one of only three ever produced, has made its debut on our site, and it's likely the first ever spotted with a license plate and actually being driven. With a staggering price tag of 23 million euros, this hand-built marvel is a true testament to Rolls-Royce’s unparalleled craftsmanship.
The Boattail, a product of Rolls-Royce's exclusive Coachbuild division, stands as a pinnacle of bespoke luxury. This division offers a unique opportunity for individuals of extraordinary achievement to create a vehicle that truly reflects their personal histories. In this case, the owner, a patron of the arts with deep connections to the pearl industry, collaborated with Rolls-Royce’s finest engineers, designers, and artisans to create a car unlike any other.
Inspired by the owner's family's origins in the pearling industry, the car's exterior color draws from a selection of four meticulously chosen pearl shells from the owner’s private collection. This iridescent inspiration led to one of the most complex finishes Rolls-Royce has ever developed. The exterior features a blend of soft rose and oyster hues, combined with white and bronze mica flakes to achieve a stunning mother-of-pearl effect. This shimmering pearlescence changes vibrancy depending on the light, making each viewing of the car a unique experience.
Adding to the car’s exceptional design, the Spirit of Ecstasy on the bonnet is rose gold-plated, infusing warmth into the overall aesthetic. The cognac paintwork, completed with a crystal and iced matt clear coat, is embedded with bronze and gold aluminum mica flakes, enhancing the car’s mesmerizing glistening appearance.
The rear deck, finished in Royal Walnut veneer, was chosen for its ability to develop a rich patina over time, harmonizing beautifully with the cognac paint. A highlight of the rear deck is the luxurious hosting suite, designed for celebratory occasions and al fresco dining. This unique feature elevates the concept of luxury on the road, pushing boundaries with its ability to set up a parasol for a distinctive picnic experience.
Moreover, the fascia clock, crafted from mother-of-pearl supplied by the owner, serves as a stunning centerpiece. Set against a minimalist background, it showcases the nacreous beauty of the clock, making it a focal point within the car’s interior.
In essence, the Rolls-Royce Boattail is not just a vehicle but a one-of-a-kind creation that marries opulence with personal heritage, redefining what it means to experience luxury on the road.
