Design Sketches and Build Shots of Rolls-Royce's Latest Boat Tail
With a price tag of $30 million, you better believe they build a full-size clay model
Rolls-Royce has unveiled another bespoke Boat Tail, a hand-built car built for a specific client that apparently enjoys having car-based picnics. While the car itself is beautiful, cost $30 million to make, blah blah blah…
…what I found interesting is that they also released design sketches and renders…
…as well as actual build shots. What does $30 million get you, in terms of design? The price tag does warrant a full-scale clay model:
It looks like they then transfer those dimensions to a forming buck…
…on which they shape the aluminum panels:
Unfortunately we don't get to see any of the finishing or interior work, the image dump just jumps from there to the finished product.
"The result," says Alex Innes, RR's Head of Coachbuild Design, "far exceeds a means of conveyance to become, quite literally, a moving work of art."

You should do a feature on Chris Runge. Super baller hand formed motor cars at a much lower price tag (although still out of reach for most).
I'd picnic with it.
Although I think that the picnic story is a device to compensate for the lack of design or technology story, the execution is quite tasteful (for a $30 million car).
