The Incomparable Rolls-Royce Boat Tail Makes An Appearance


A better location for a global debut could not be found.

Rolls-Royce isn't a company known for making sub-par automobiles, but every once in a while, the British luxury marque will reveal something that is astonishing, even by its own standards. While we'd have no problem driving around in a Rolls-Royce Phantom, the rich and famous want something more, and that's where coachbuilt artworks like the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail come in. It's a gorgeous ode to opulence that only the world's most affluent can afford, which means that mere mortals like you and I will likely never see it in the metal, but thanks to the car making its public debut this past weekend, some had the opportunity to marvel at the Boat Tail's finer details in person.

The car's first-ever public appearance was this past weekend, October 2-3 at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, on the shores of the glamorous Lake Como in Italy. Unveiling the car here is something of a tradition now, as the first coachbuilt Rolls-Royce of the modern era, the Sweptail, was launched here too, back in 2017.

Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos took the opportunity to remind visitors that the brand is far from done with unique projects like this, saying that the company is "leading a modern coachbuilding movement that takes the wider luxury industry into an entirely different space, where hyper-personalization and contemporary patronage provide essentially limitless possibilities."

The Volvo XC40 and larger XC60 and XC90 are proving to be formidable competitors in their respective luxury SUV segments. Meanwhile, the XC40's all-electric sibling, the XC40 Recharge, Volvo's first-ever pure electric SUV, has just entered production. So where does Volvo go from here, aside from regular model cycle redesigns? Well, it appears it's going smaller and all-electric. According to Auto Express, Volvo has decided its next SUV will be an all battery-electric even smaller than the XC40. More than likely, it'll be called the XC20, a nameplate the firm has already trademarked. Speaking to Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson at this year's Beijing Auto Show, he confirmed the smaller XC20 EV SUV will be one of Volvo's first vehicle to ride on a new dedi...

Mercedes-Benz EQS: Platform and underpinnings The EQS is the first in an extended range of EQ models to use Mercedes-Benz’s dedicated EVA (Electric Vehicle Architecture) platform and has been conceived as an electric-powered equivalent to the S-Class sedan – alongside which it will be produced in Sindelfingen, Germany.

Its appearance is dominated by what Mercedes describes as a “one-bow roofline” that stretches back to form a heavily angled liftback-style tailgate. Other key styling elements include a black grille panel bookended by a pair of angular headlights - themselves joined by a...
