After Rolls-Royce presented the custom-built Sweptail as an exclusive one-off in 2017, it also revived the factory’s own Coachbuild tradition. This department enables solvent customers to have completely independent one-offs made on the technical basis of existing model series. Normally, the Bespoke department is limited by the fact that the bodyshells cannot be modified. Rolls-Royce Coachbuild easily exceeds these limits. Now the second new project debuts in the form of the Boat Tail. Three VIP customers of Rolls-Royce were involved in the work required for this. For this reason, there is not just one example, but three, which will differ from each other in details. All three were united by the statement: “Show us something we have never seen before.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From drawings to a 1:1 scale model<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Soon, the Rolls-Royce designers had produced initial hand sketches that met with approval. Once the shape was finalized, they created a 1:1 scale clay prototype, a sculpture that the three customers were able to scrutinize and critique in detail. Then a 3D scanner provided highly accurate data in the computer, which was adjusted one last time and then used to make bucks. On these, craftsmen from the Coachbuild department hand-hammered aluminium sheets for the bodies. This process is time-consuming and must happen as precisely as possible so that all components fit together in the end. Slowly, a sculptural, unique body shape emerges that would never exist in large-scale production.<\/p>\n\n\n
