Rolls-Royce is tight-lipped about what the second Boat Tail will be like and we expect it to be customised and quite different from the first one. Being a completely hand-built offering, the model is designed according to the customer's specifications. The original Boat Tail measured about 19 feet in length and came with a wraparound windshield, extended rear end and the aft deck with the wood veneers.
The first Rolls-Royce Boat Tail's exterior was covered in a dual-tone shade of blue and black, with matching multi-spoke alloy wheels. The automaker offered a hand-painted gradated bonnet. The aft deck comes with nautical references and the deck opens in a sweeping butterfly gesture at the press of a button to reveal an intricate and generous hosting suite.
The cabin comes with a leather interior that matches the bonnet's colour tone with the front seats swathed in the dark blue hue, while the rear seats are finished in a lighter tone The car also comes with unique BOVET 1822 timepieces, 15-speaker Bespoke Rolls-Royce Audio System, signature Rolls-Royce umbrellas, and more. Power figures weren't announced but the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is likely to have the familiar twin-turbo 6.7-litre V12 engine that develops about 563 bhp, going up to 600 bhp on the Black Badge variants.
