Rolls-Royce Motor Cars on Thursday unveiled the Boat Tail, a luxury vehicle model that has been dubbed “the most ambitious car ever developed”.
The Boat Tail is a four-seater car with a length of almost 5.8 meters, the stern of which is shaped like a yacht deck. Only three will be made and the price of the car will not be published.
The new model comes as Rolls-Royce opens a new division in its store called Coachbuild, an invitation-only program that allows the automaker’s high-end customers to put unique cars into operation.
Each tail of the boat has been tailored to its buyer, who has worked with designers on the cars for four years as part of the Coachbuild program.
More than 1,800 new parts have been developed for the Boat Tail, each with luxurious features like double fridges for vintage champagne and bespoke timepieces that can be carried or placed in the car to be used as a watch.
Torsten Müller-Ötvös, CEO of Rolls Royce, described it as a “beautiful, great car” and said the customer is involved in “every step of the journey” and that creating such bespoke cars is “money that cannot be bought.” ” be. “”
“It’s something extremely rare and (something) that only a select few may be able to do,” he told CNBC’s Joumanna Bercetche, adding that the Coachbuild division would, by its very nature, be a small part of the company’s overall business.
“It’s a very, very small part of our business, and for very good reasons. Our idea is to bring a coachbuild project to market, probably every two years, that is commissioned by a select client.”
