British luxury automaker Rolls-Royce has unveiled the 'Boat Tail,' its newest coachbuilt commission that has been designed as a tribute to the clients' family heritage and their connection to the pearling industry. This one-of-kind vehicle has been handmade and features -- as the name suggests -- a boat-like droptop.
Aesthetically, the Boat Tail comes finished with a rose gold exterior that is beautifully contrasted by a dark-brown hood and Royal Walnut rear deck with gold-plated pinstripes. In addition, the vehicle features Rolls-Royce's iconic Pantheon Grille, which is made from a single billet of aluminum and finished with a rose gold "Spirit of Ecstasy." Of course, the interior of the vehicle matches the overall color scheme; seats come finished in cognac-colored leather while pearl-themed details are dispersed throughout.
