Rumored to cost in the neighborhood of $30 million, the second of three Boat Tail commissions represents a few firsts for the marque.
“This particular client conveyed to us the desire to create a mirror to the differing environments in which the car would be used,” reveals Alex Innes, Rolls-Royce Coachbuild Design boss, “and I can say with some authenticity that only a few weeks ago we viewed the car with the client in the UK, and its tones were white and simplistic. Here, somehow it is transformed to reflect the terracotta of the scenery around it, transforming its personality.
describes as “widely traveled, internationally educated and cosmopolitan in his tastes and influences,” this Boat Tail will become an addition to his “sizable collection of classic and modern cars housed in a dedicated private museum.”The Boat Tail subverts the signature Pantheon grille with an unexpected twist on the imposing emblem. Starting with a solid block of billet aluminum, the metal is milled and the surrounds painted matte cognac, so only the polished vanes stand out.
The car’s Hosting Suite comprises a parasol set between two jewelry case–like displays of beverage accoutrements as well as plate and silverware service. Though the Boat Tail’s massive scale includes hand-formed body panels, which constitute the largest ever produced by the Goodwood manufacturer, it’s the details that further separate these commissions from serially produced steeds.
