Rolls-Royce Limited was founded in 1904 by Charles Rolls and Henry Royce. The first car created by the duo was labeled the “Rolls-Royce 10 HP”. In 1906, the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost was built and hailed as the best car in the world. 

Similar to other auto manufacturers such as Volkswagen and BMW, Rolls-Royce helped design aero engines to aid war efforts.

Built for speed and luxury, Rolls-Royce brought an element of excitement to auto manufacturing that hadn’t been seen before. 

Multiple hit cars by Rolls-Royce were produced during the 50s, 60s, and 70s that included:  

• Phantom V
• Corniche 
• Carmargue 
• Silver Shadow II 

The 1990s marked a new era for Rolls-Royce as BMW acquired the company. With a new manufacturing facility in Goodwood, England Rolls-Royce would build vehicles by hand here. 

Modern-day examples of popular Rolls-Royce models include the Phantom, Ghost, Wraith, and Dawn.

Rolls-Royce Conclusion

Now a part of the BMW Group, Rolls-Royce was a luxury car manufacturer and later on became an aero-engine manufacturing business. War prompted the company to begin manufacturing engines while financial instability had the company frequently changing hands around the 1970s and 1980s. 

While Rolls-Royce has had an occasionally bumpy financial history, the brand name still stands strong today. Back in 1987, a survey reflected that only Coca-Cola was a better-known name brand over Rolls-Royce.
