Beyoncé reigns as one of the most influential entertainers of all time. Not only has the legendary singer changed multiple facets of the music industry, but she has quite an impressive garage of cars. One of the most recent additions to her and Jay-Z’s car collection has fans talking because it’s truly a beauty and shows the continued prowess of Rolls-Royce.
The car in question is the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail. The power couple reportedly bought the super expensive luxury ride sometime in 2021. Of course, every Rolls-Royce is unique. After all, that’s sort of what the company is well known for. However, the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail takes the cake as one of the automaker’s most insane rides ever. The Boat Tail is, as most would expect, super rare with Rolls-Royce only planning to make three units of the car.
One of the most astonishing aspects of the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is that the clients design the car from the ground up regarding its features. This hands-on approach explains the insanely low production numbers for this ride. The rare few people who can afford to buy a Rolls-Royce Boat Tail get a car that’s uniquely their own.
Here’s what we know about Beyoncé’s Rolls-Royce Boat Tail.
Engine And Powertrain Of Beyoncé’s Rolls-Royce Boat Tail
Rolls-Royce makes cars that are the perfect blend of elegance and raw power. As such, it makes perfect sense that the engine for the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail would come from the Phantom. Beyoncé’s Rolls-Royce Boat Tail has an impressive naturally aspirated 6.7-liter V12 under its hood. The car has a maximum output of 453 horsepower at 5,350 rpm and 531 ft-lb of torque at 3,500 rpm. The Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is a rear-wheel drive vehicle with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Simply put, this is a fast car. According to various reports, the vehicle accelerates from 0 to 62 miles per hour in just 5.8 seconds. This acceleration time makes the Rolls-Royce Phantom a tad bit faster. However, the Boat Tail is a pretty big car, so it makes sense that it would be a little slower. Although this isn’t a car a person would buy for the performance factor, Beyonce’s Rolls-Royce Boat Tail can stand up to many of the best in the luxury class of vehicles.
Beyoncé’s Rolls-Royce Boat Tail Has An Ultra-Luxurious Interior
What makes a vehicle like the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail special is that the customer can make the car what they want. This level of customization is primarily true for the interior, as the platform for the vehicle is mostly set in stone. Beyoncé is a very private person. This level of privacy means that although reports exist of what she and Jay-Z requested for their car, we can’t say for sure because the “Renaissance” singer hasn't shown off the vehicle. However, according to reports, Beyoncé’s Rolls-Royce Boat Tail contains some appliances you’d typically find in a home. For one, the car has dual refrigerators. The refrigerators are the perfect size for champagne. It also has an umbrella as well as various picnic items. The umbrella is a throwback to classic Rolls-Royce models. Not only can you see this depiction of the Boat Tail on the official Rolls-Royce website, but most assume that the photo is actually a shot of Beyoncé’s car.
The idea of a vehicle with two refrigerators may sound weird, especially since it only seats four passengers and has two doors. However, it makes sense because, at 19 feet long, this car is enormous. Besides the seating, the most important aspect of the car is the tail, or better said the boat tail. It’s intended to mimic a yacht. This area is where all the extra storage space resides. One can consider this space to be a super upgraded car trunk.
There are other cool interior features of Beyoncé’s Rolls-Royce Boat Tail. For one, it has multiple timepieces. One is on the center dash and in the form of a wristwatch. It also contains two smaller watches, one for Beyoncé and one for Jay-Z. The smaller watches are removable. The car even has a small drawer for things like watch straps.
The Price Of Beyoncé’s Rolls-Royce Boat Tail
The subject surrounding the price of ultra-expensive luxury cars can be controversial for many reasons. However, it’s also interesting because it gives a complete story of what automakers are capable of. The Boat Tail is the perfect discussion point because it’s such a rarity. People should know that Rolls-Royce offers this car through their Coachbuild program. This service is an invite-only program that seeks the cream of the crop of the rich and famous. Designing this car with significant input from the clients takes multiple years.
The price of Beyoncé’s Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is astronomical. Though we’ll never know for sure, reports say that the car has a price tag of upwards of $28 million. According to the duPont Registry, the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is the most expensive car in the world. This Rolls-Royce is a car that most of us will never see in person, but again, a vehicle like the Boat Tail shows us what’s possible in the auto world. If only we could experience listening to Beyoncé’s new album in the back of a Rolls-Royce Boat Tail.
