Recently, Rolls Royce unveiled the ultra-exclusive Boat Tail, which is a completely bespoke coachbuilt model. This model is one of the first Boat Tails to be showcased to the public, while the other two will be revealed later. Rolls Royce has built these Boat Tails with inputs from their exclusive clients. Each Boat Tail will have the same silhouette and bodywork, but the features and appearance will be customized according to the personal taste of its clients.

Design
The design of the new Rolls Royce Boat Tail has been inspired by J-Class yachts as well as the original 1932 Rolls-Royce Boat Tail. The first thing that stands out is its massive proportions, as the car measures nearly 5.9 metres in length. Upfront, Rolls-Royce’s pantheon grille is flanked by wide and deep-set daytime running lights with classical round headlamps positioned below. All this is extremely well incorporated making the new front-end design appear almost seamless. Just like other Rolls Royce models, the Boat Tail will also have a pair of umbrellas neatly hidden in the door cards. Not much has been said of the 'canopy' roof, but it definitely looks unique and unconventional.
Engine and Transmission
Rolls Royce has not revealed any technical details of the new Boat Tails yet. However, it might get a 6.75-litre, twin-turbo V12 engine seen in other Rolls Royce vehicles. The power output is expected to be somewhere around 550-570 HP and 850-900Nm.
"Rolls-Royce has carefully listened to its closest clients, each of whom has expressed a desire to deepen their relationship with the brand by creating ambitious, personal statements of true luxury. Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is not a concept created to be retrospectively sold. Quite the contrary. Rolls-Royce believes in complete authenticity and Boat Tail is the culmination of a four-year collaboration with three of our most special clients."
"Rolls-Royce Coachbuild clients are intimately and personally involved at each step of the creative and engineering process. We work in harmony with the client to gain complete fluency in the nuances of their character and personality. We carefully translate these qualities into the elements with which they wish to imbue their commission. This is authentic luxury. This is contemporary patronage in its truest form. This is Rolls-Royce Coachbuild.", said Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive, Rolls-Royce
“Rolls-Royce Boat Tail challenges the notion of what a motor car is and creates a new definition of what a motor car means. Boat Tail exists far beyond a mere means of transport. It is not just the method to reach a destination, but the destination itself. It is an ambition realised with a remarkable cohort of women and men who empowered the marque to create a concept of extraordinary scope.
“Coachbuild provides freedom to move beyond the usual constraints. Normally, there is a natural ceiling to Rolls-Royce Bespoke by way of the canvas. At Rolls-Royce Coachbuild we break through that ceiling, embracing the freedom of expression afforded by coachbuilding to shape a concept directly with our commissioning patrons.
“With Boat Tail, we have achieved this. We have created a trio of exceptional cars which, although they share a common body style, are each imbued with the unique, highly personal imprint of the commissioning patron, thereby telling differing stories. Boat Tail is unprecedented. Boat Tail is a distinct counterpoint to industrialised luxury.”, said Alex Innes, Head of Rolls-Royce Coachbuild Design, Rolls-Royce
