Rolls-Royce Models
ABOUT ROLLS-ROYCE
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is an English company that is part of the BMW AG concern. It specializes in the production of expensive and prestigious luxury cars. The company's flagship model is the Rolls-Royce Phantom. The history of the company has been going on for a hundred years. The founders of the company were design engineer Frederick Henry Royce and merchant Charles Stuart Rolls, who created their own company in 1904. Participation in the rally contributed to the popularity of the company. In 1906, the first place in the Tourist Trophy car race was taken by a light 4-cylinder Rolls-Royce 20 PS model, the engine power of which was only 20 hp. In the XX century, the company finally established its image as a prestigious brand. She became the main supplier of cars for the royal House of Great Britain. At a certain period in the middle of the XX century, the company's business declined, and in 1971 the company's management declared bankruptcy of the company. It was only due to the monetary investments of the government of the country that it was possible to preserve the brand for a while. At the end of the XX century, the famous Rolls-Royce brand was acquired by the BMW concern, which saved it from oblivion and became the key to the further successful development of the company.
