The Boat Tail at dusk.

The Boat Tail was unveiled at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d-Este event in northern Italy.

The rear deck is swathed in a walnut veneer.

Possibly the world's poshest picnic set.

The boat analogy stretches to a deck-like effect on the car's boot.

The front of the Boat Tail features what Rolls-Royce calls a pantheon grille.

The wood-veneer interior is matched with earth-tone accents.

The colour of the new Boat Tail is a blend of "oyster and soft rose".

The rear deck has a butterfly opening action.

Roof up, ready to roll.

The Spirit of Ecstasy figurine in rose gold.

The Boat Tail is hand-built, with the body panels being crafted from single sheets of aluminium.

Up close with the wood-veneer decking.

An early design sketch.

The Boat Tail's body shape was chiselled from wood before construction as a guide to the coachbuilders.

Even the statue seems impressed.

The Boat Tail has gold accents throughout.

The Boat Tail features a clock with mother-of-pearl accents.

Parasol only to be used when stationary.
