Whats in a Rolls Royce??

[silverhawk]

I'm curious about all the things that make a Rolls Royce so special. i have a project assigned by my teacher and i chose the topic 'super luxury cars'. i have the necessary info on Bentleys but nothing on Rolls Royces.

Seeing as how they were the same company for quite a long time, I'd guess they have a lot in common.

What sort of "info" are you looking for?

History, brand identity, target market?

If you read through any RR press releases they should tell you most of why RR think they are so good.

You should also look into the Maybachs, the Bugaty Veyron and old Hispano suizas.

Interesting fact, for a certain period Queen Elisabeth II would travel in no other car than her, or some other Rolls Royce.

Bugaty

Are you sure about that?

[Timothy (in VA)]

The current Rolls-Royce Phantom comes with an umbrella stored conveniently in the rear door. That's luxury .

EDIT: By the way, the company is properly spelled "Rolls-Royce," with the hyphen. That might help you in your search.

HOW TO USE AN EASY VAPE

[Glisson]

Is your project specifically on British cars or Rolls?
If not go to The Bugatti Page and go to Type 41. Bugattis actually have a longer history than Rolls (See Ettore and the Tricycle 1898)
and the T41 was built to knock Rolls off the market.Regretably due to the Great Deppression this did not happen.
Could make a nice comparative project.

Have you tried Google? Or the RR site itself?

[TVR IS KING]

I would say Wikipedia would be best.

Probably looking for the bottom one.

sliverhawk, you should've done supercars, not super luxury cars. it would've been so much easier. but anyway, heres what i know -

the leather hides come from cows that were never near barbed wire
the grilles are polished by hand for about 6 hours or more
wood veneers are polished to achieve a finish as smooth as glass.
the phantom's V12 is hand-built

and soooooooooo on

i gotta scan it though.
