Rolls-Royce Boat Tail Is The Most Expensive Car In The World in 2023 (Video)

As of last update in 2023, the title of the world’s most expensive car was held by the “Rolls-Royce Boat Tail,” reportedly costing around $28 million. Not far behind was the Bugatti La Voiture Noire, selling for nearly $18.7 million after taxes. These vehicles are not merely modes of transportation; they are a confluence of artistry, engineering excellence, and exclusiveness.

The Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is proof that quantity and quality can walk together without overshadowing each other. This truly unique car was designed as a coach-built model, the first of three to be made. What does that mean? A bespoke vehicle, based on an existing framework.

This one’s especially impressive as it features elements of a J-Class yacht as well as those of the original 1932 Boat Tail. The Rolls-Royce Boat Tail made its public debut at Italy’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in late 2021 and shows off with its 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 engine capable of 563 horsepower. It’s officially 2023’s most expensive new car in the world.
