Back in 2017, Rolls-Royce unveiled the Sweptail, an incredibly huge Phantom-based one-off coupe with a completely custom coachbuilt body, the first of its kind from Rolls in the modern era. Right after the Sweptail was revealed, Rolls-Royce had a number of clients asking for custom vehicles of their own, leading the company to create a full-on coachbuilding division of the brand. Three particular customers had very similar visions of what they wanted, and after four years of development, the new Boat Tail was born. Three Boat Tails will be built, one for each of said customers, and each one will have its own unique styling elements, color and trim specs and special features. So far, only one car has been built -- the blue one you see here -- and Rolls-Royce isn't ready to talk about the other two yet. That's fine, because this first one is absolutely spectacular. Following its initial debut in May, the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail made its public debut at Italy's Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este this weekend. And even here, among a sea of ultra-rare, high-dollar vehicles, the Boat Tail made an absolute splash.
