Rolls Royce, together with Bentley, is considered in the automotive sector as a very exclusive car manufacturer. Since its foundation in Derby (United Kingdom) in 1906, it has focused on design, development and manufacture of vehicles for the premium market. Among the symbols that make the signature of the double “R” recognizable is the “Spirit of Ecstasy”, the emblem that is placed on the radiator grille of its models.

Along its history Rolls Royce It has been in charge of motorizing the most important personalities, royal houses and rulers in the world. This has been possible thanks to its exclusive customization programs and the completely handmade manufacturing of its models. Since 2003 it has been covered under the umbrella of BMW (Her sister Bentley suffered the same fate, but with the Volkswagen Group).

The model that opens the catalog of Rolls Royce is Ghost. This is its smallest model, although it is 5,4 meters long. its exterior design is inspired by the Phantom, but unlike this offers sportier driving dynamics (within its 2.435 kilos of weight). The technological, equipment and quality possibilities of the Ghost are superlative, and can be increased thanks to the exclusive customization programs.

With the Phantom, Rolls-Royce knew how to combine the best BMW technology and mechanics with its exquisite quality of interior realization. The Phantom has two types of bodywork, a short one with 5,83 meters in length and another with an extended wheelbase with 6,08 meters. Following the tradition of the English firm, the customization possibilities are endless, as well as its technological and security level. It is powered by an atmospherically aspirated gasoline block and V12 configuration with 453 hp.

To close the range Rolls Royce the firm proposes Phantom Coupe/Drophead. This model is the coupé and cabrio (Drophead) version of the Phantom but unlike the saloon its size is reduced to 5,60 meters. If the original Phantom represents the ultimate luxury within the Derby house, the Coupe and Drophead go one step further. Its body has a more stylized design and with greater obsession with detail. The mechanical range is shared with the sedan but its customization possibilities are even greater.
