Rolls-Royce Boat Tail to make public premiere in Italy

Rolls-Royce's coachbuilt masterpiece, the Boat Tail, will make a global public debut at the prestigious Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este come 2 October 2021.

It will be available for guests and journalists to view for two days only, before returning to the privacy and seclusion that have surrounded it since it was formally revealed in May 2021.

The event marks the first time Boat Tail itself has been displayed in public. It is a unique opportunity for guests and journalists to examine the car's remarkable coachbuilt construction and extraordinary Bespoke detailing, which were designed and hand-built at the Home of Rolls-Royce in a highly demanding technical and creative project lasting almost four years.

The Boat Tail marks a seminal moment in the annals of Rolls-Royce, demonstrating the marque's commitment to coachbuilding as a central part of its future direction and portfolio. It continues and accelerates a contemporary coachbuilding movement that began with Sweptail, the first coachbuilt Rolls-Royce of the modern era, which also made its first public appearance at Villa d'Este back in 2017.

As a hand-built, one-of-a-kind creation, in which both the bodywork and interior are designed and produced to the client's specification, Rolls-Royce Coachbuild redraws the boundaries of luxury and opens vast new possibilities for patrons of contemporary design and fine craftsmanship.
