Rolls-Royce newest convertible is picnic ready
The nautical references in the car design are inspired by J-class yachts.
Rolls-Royce have released details of a new convertible which contains cocktail tables, fridges for champagne and a matching parasol – all custom made for a single, ultra-wealthy, individual.
Named the ‘Boat Tail’, the rear of the car is shaped like a racing yacht. It was hand-built and took four years to make. Rolls-Royce have not disclosed the price tag, or the name of the buyer.
The 5.8 metres long convertible was produced by a newly announced division within Rolls-Royce called “Coachbuild”. It is the first of three custom made cars for different clients, who were selectively chosen to work with designers from the elite car company.
The new model comes as Rolls-Royce launches a new division within its business, Coachbuild, an invitation-only program that will allow the carmaker s most high-end clients to commission unique cars.
Each Boat Tail has been personalized to its purchaser, who collaborated with designers for four years on the cars under the Coachbuild program.
More than 1,800 new parts were developed for the Boat Tail, each of which has luxury features such as double refrigerators for vintage champagne and bespoke timepieces which can be worn or inserted into the car to be used as its clock.
Describing it as a lovely, magnificent car, Rolls Royce s CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös said that the client was involved in every step of the journey and that the creation of such bespoke cars was a money can t buy experience.
