Rolls-Royce Boat Tail breaks cover as world’s most expensive car

Published

on

The 2021 Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is specially built with certain luxury features said not to have been seen in other premium automobiles. It is priced at a whopping 28 million dollars.

And the question is how many people will like to spend so much on an automobile just to get that luxurious car with a boot that resembles a boat tail; even if it is stacked with some of the most expensive drinks and an independent set-up perfect for a romantic outing. Well, it is a Rolls-Royce, for crying out loud, a brand exclusively reserved for the super rich with a taste for out-of-this-world things.

The name Boat Tail is derived from the Rolls-Royce car’s rear which is shaped like a J-class racing yacht.

BMWBLOG describes Rolls-Royce Boat Tail as the most bespoke Rolls-Royce in ages.

According to HTAuto, an online auto journal, there is a whole lot more that demands a premium that may sound absurd, even if you are a billionaire.

The 2021 Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is a four-seater luxury car that stands 19-feet long.

It is the first Rolls-Royce car to have been commissioned under the luxury carmaker’s new Coachbuild program.

The Boat Tail car is said to be inspired from the Rolls-Royce Sweptail car, a one-off model which was the most expensive car from the luxury automaker till date. It was sold in 2017 for 12.8 million pounds.

The Tail reportedly took more than four years for Roll-Royce employees to hand-build it.

Only three models of the 2021 Boat Tail will be built for the auto world, the automaker has said.

HTAuto recalls that Rolls-Royce built the Sweptail car on the basis of request from a very wealthy European. The 2021 Boat Tail is no exception, it notes.

According to Rolls-Royce, the three patrons who coordinated with the brand’s designers to build this super-luxury vehicle shared a single demand, which is ‘Show me something that I have never seen before’.

 

Its other features show that the back deck opens up to reveal cocktail tables, fridges for champagne and more.

The cherry in the car’s design is at the rear, which resembles the back of a luxury speedboat.

Under the two Caleidolegno wooden lids are housed two exquisite compartments. The lids open like butterfly wings to reveal the boot space which open up like the most refined outdoor set-up.

Interior

Inside, one would find a dual champagne cooler which was customised by the owner along with Rolls-Royce designers, to fit bottles of the patron’s favourite Armand de Brignac vintage.

On the other side is a set of crockery by Christofle of Paris. Even the smallest items here are engraved with the car’s name to give them exclusivity.

The on-board fridge also keeps the Caviar cool besides other food compartments.

More features

The car has an exclusive sun visor, more expensive than many modern cars. It protects the occupants from the sun, for whom picnic chairs with a carbon fibre frame have been designed.

Removable trays keep snacks at a comfortable height. As if this were not enough, the Swiss watchmaker Bovey 1822 has created an exclusive watch for this Boat Tail.

There is also a 15-speaker sound system that has been modified to use the car’s platform as a sound box.

The Chief Executive Officer of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Torsten Muller-Otvos, says, “What you see here in the back is probably, technically, the most refined picnic facility on Earth.”

Engine

The 2021 Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is powered by the same engine used in the Cullinan, Phantom and Black Badge.

The V12 6.75 biturbo engine is capable of generating 563hp of power.

Massilia Motors Slashes Mitsubishi L200 Price to ₦42m for Anniversary Campaign

 

Massilia Motors Nigeria has unveiled a special anniversary pricing offer on the new Mitsubishi L200 pickup truck to celebrate one year of the latest model’s introduction into the Nigerian market, with prices now starting from ₦42 million.

The company, the sole authorised distributor of Mitsubishi Motors in Nigeria and a joint venture between the CFAO Group and the Chanrai Group, said the limited-time offer applies to all variants of the L200, urging prospective buyers to take advantage of the promotion while stocks last.

The latest-generation L200 entered the Nigerian market backed by strong international recognition. The pickup won the Design Car of the Year award at the 2024–2025 Japan Car of the Year Awards, earning praise for its bold “Beast Mode” styling and practical interior design. It also clinched the Best Mid-size Pickup title at the 2024 Arab Car of the Year Awards for its performance, durability and reliability.

Since its launch, the vehicle has gained acceptance among operators in key sectors of the economy, including construction, agriculture, mining and logistics, where ruggedness, payload capacity and dependable performance are critical.

Built on Mitsubishi’s long-standing expertise in pickup engineering, the L200 combines off-road capability and commercial-grade toughness with modern comfort, safety and technology features.

Massilia Motors said the pickup’s growing popularity reflects the increasing demand for versatile vehicles capable of handling Nigeria’s diverse operating conditions while meeting the expectations of both fleet operators and individual customers.

The company added that ownership of the L200 is supported by a comprehensive aftersales package, including genuine spare parts availability, certified service support and a warranty covering three years or 100,000 kilometres, whichever comes first.

Speaking on the milestone, the Managing Director of Massilia Motors Nigeria, Olivier Lamoure, said the L200 had lived up to expectations since its introduction to the market.

“One year in, the L200 has proven exactly what we believed it would — that the Nigerian market has a real appetite for a pickup truck that is built to work without compromise,” Lamoure said.

He noted that the anniversary pricing offer was designed to reward existing customers and provide an opportunity for prospective buyers to acquire the vehicle at a more attractive price.

According to him, the special pricing will only be available for the remainder of the month, making it a timely opportunity for businesses and individuals considering the pickup.

Massilia Motors provides vehicle sales, genuine parts and certified aftersales support to individual and fleet customers through its operations in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and other locations across the country.

Measuring 4,858mm in length, 1,925mm in width and 1,780mm in height, the SUV translates its substantial dimensions into a remarkably spacious interior.

The seven-seat cabin features premium materials, soft-touch finishes and elegant wood accents, while generous headroom and legroom across all three rows provide comfort for every occupant.
