Introduction
The Details Behind the Legend
Rolls-Royce has been a byword for luxury for more than a century. Much of that reputation comes from details most people never notice. Here are 10 facts every Rolls-Royce fan should know.
1. It Began With a Meeting in 1904
Charles Rolls and Henry Royce met in Manchester in 1904. Two years later, Rolls-Royce Limited was formed.
2. The Spirit of Ecstasy Has a Story
The famous hood ornament was sculpted by Charles Sykes and adopted in 1911. On modern cars, it retracts into the grille to protect it.
3. Every Car Is Built in Goodwood
Since 2003, every Rolls-Royce has been built at Goodwood in West Sussex, England, under BMW Group ownership.
4. The Coachline Is Painted by Hand
The fine pinstripe along the side of the car is hand-painted by a specialist with a brush.
5. There Are Umbrellas in the Doors
Rolls-Royce models store umbrellas inside the doors, ready for a Florida downpour.
6. The Rear Doors Open Backward
Rear-hinged "coach doors" make getting in and out of the back seat graceful, perfect for weddings and red-carpet arrivals.
7. The Ceiling Can Look Like the Night Sky
The optional Starlight Headliner places fiber-optic lights by hand across the roof lining to create a starry sky.
8. The RR Badges Always Stay Upright
The wheel-center badges are designed to stay level as the wheels turn, so the logo is always upright.
9. The Cullinan Is Named After a Famous Diamond
The Cullinan SUV takes its name from the Cullinan Diamond, the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever found. Other model names, like Phantom, Ghost, and Wraith, follow a spirit theme.
10. The Brand Has Gone Electric
The Spectre is the first all-electric Rolls-Royce, with first deliveries in late 2023.
