    Rolls Royce’s latest version of the world’s most expensive new car was unveiled

    The Rolls-Royce describes the vehicle as "a masterwork of restraint, subtlety, elegance and attention to detail" and describes it as being painted a colour that is a blend of oyster and rose and is intended to softly vary under various lighting circumstances.

    Digital Desk: The second of a trio of
    bespoke masterpieces from Rolls-Royce, dubbed the most costly new automobiles
    this brand-or any other-has ever made, has been unveiled. It is called the
    "boat tail."



    When
    the first of the three was unveiled to the public in 2021, calculations
    indicated that it was likely to cost between $25 and $28 million. According to
    some estimates, the latest Boat Tail has reached the $30 million milestone.



    At
    a gathering in the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, on the shores of Lake
    Como, Italy, the most recent incarnation was first made public. It is also just
    as refined as its predecessor.



    The
    Rolls-Royce describes the vehicle as "a masterwork of restraint, subtlety,
    elegance and attention to detail" and describes it as being painted a
    colour that is a blend of oyster and rose and is intended to softly vary under
    various lighting circumstances.



    The
    customer, whose family has a history in the pearling business, gave the design
    team a selection of four shells that she had picked for each one's unique sheen
    and which served as the basis for the eye-catching colour.



    The
    brand's Phantom II Boattail from 1932, which itself took design ideas from
    early 20th-century racing yachts, served as the inspiration for the car's
    design.



    The
    vehicle's boot's marine-style wood decking, which expands in a butterfly motion
    to reveal an outside dining set (with stools and a parasol) when desired, is
    the most noticeable allusion to this.



    The
    Rolls Royce Boat Tail is thought to be the priciest car in the world, costing
    between $25 million and $28 million.



    It
    is completely unique due to the many unique features that were developed via
    years of collaboration between the manufacturer and the client.



    The
    body panels of the car were made from single, battered sheets of aluminium, as
    is customary. This includes the front's "pantheon grille," as
    Rolls-Royce refers to it.



    The
    Spirit of Ecstasy figurine has also been made in a rose gold colour to match
    the colour scheme.



    The
    third Boat Tail is currently being manufactured, but it probably won't be used
    until around 2023.
