Rolls Royce Ghost Facelift

Rolls-Royce focuses on ultra-luxurious and highly exclusive cars. Then, it actually creates some of the most popular cars in the world, assuring its leading personel customers of a super-smooth and luxurious drive experience. However, the price tag for a Rolls Royce is really exorbitant. So, in this blog, we are going to discuss the reasons that make these cars so expensive. Incomparable Craftsmanship One major reason why Rolls Royce cars come pricey is because of the unmatched craftsmanship in their making. Basically, each car is hand-built to perfection, with every component going into it month-end and year-end. Be it the stitches on the leather seats or the wooden veneers adorning the dash, everything is done by highly skilled artists who have lent hundreds of hours to ensure flawless execution. Exotic Materials Rolls Royce cars are not mere cars, but works of art attired in the finest available materials and crafted to perfection until the last detail. Splendid leather from the finest hides, carefully selected exotics for trimmings with only the finest grain and texture, and metals like titanium and aluminium are all used. Even the paint is of the highest order, it features quite a few layers applied and hand polished for a mirror finish that no other car maker is capable of emulating. Bespoke Options Unlike mass-produced cars that come with very few options for customization, Rolls Royce takes personalisation to another extreme. A customer has an option to select from a wide diversity of colours, materials, and finishes, and may even have bespoke features fitted into the cars. It is this level of personalisation which makes each Rolls Royce unique to an owner's exact taste, thus exclusive, and, as such, highly-priced. Advanced Engineering While on the outside and inside a Rolls Royce screams of old-world craftsmanship, under its hood lay the latest modern technology. Engineers at Rolls Royce spare no effort to ensure that the latest strides made in automotive engineering are incorporated into these cars. Not only must every car look beautiful, but it's also got to be a brilliant performer. The engines are both powerful and civilised, refined to provide the breed of smooth and effortless performance one would expect of this marque. Iconic Design Language There's something utterly unmistakable about Rolls-Royce—the design language melds chivalrous elegance with a whole lot of modern sensibility. With sleek lines, the legendary Spirit of Ecstasy hood emblem, and the imposing presence, any car that can put these together becomes an instant symbol of prestige. But more than anything else, it is the execution reflecting decades of heritage and commitment to timeless aesthetics that makes every Rolls Royce a statement of luxury and refinement. Ownership Like No Other Ownership of a Rolls Royce says more than just owning a car, it is tailored. A Rolls-Royce, through Bespoke, brings along dedicated concierge service, exclusive access to VIP events, and personalised customer care. It goes on to insure, right down to the last detail of ownership, that it's as lavish and decent as the car itself in creating overall value of ownership experience. Limited Production Unlike mass-market automobile manufacturers, which churn out thousands every year, Rolls Royce has maintained a limited production capacity. This creates a situation wherein demand far outstrips supply, thereby the prices are even higher. Each and every Rolls Royce is special to requirements, not to mention the long waiting lists that run into months or even years, depending on the model and customisations chosen. Heritage and Legacy The rich heritage and legacy is in the price of a Rolls Royce. More than a century ago, Rolls Royce made its foray into history by designing and manufacturing some of the most lavish and honourable cars across the globe. Building uncompromising quality, luxury, and innovative intellect combined to forge the reputation of standing as the epitome for car excellence, the epitome of which finds its price tag as a legacy to maintain. It is, therefore, befitting to say that some of the monetised reasons that highly contribute to the high cost of a Rolls Royce include exquisite craftsmanship, the finest materials, advanced engineering, bespoke options, iconic design, exclusive ownership experience, limited production, and rich heritage.  Actually, every Rolls Royce defines the pinnacle in luxury motoring, hence it is not simply a car, but also an epitome of unrivalled luxury and craft. To be the best of the best in automotive luxury, owning a Rolls-Royce is worth much more than its weight in gold, the epitome of craftsmanship and pure dedication that goes into creating an ultimate driving experience.

Luxury automaker Rolls-Royce has just unveiled the new Drop Tail. It is the brand’s first modern two-seat roadster and a nod to the coach-built drop-tops that brought Rolls-Royce reputation a century ago. The Rolls Royce Drop Tail has been developed over 4 years of collaboration between the automaker and four clients. The first of four bespoke Drop Tails is dubbed ‘LA Rose Noire’ and gets a custom Audemars Piguet watch that is mounted to the dashboard using a clasp mechanism. Rolls-Royce says the Drop Tail represents the “absolute pinnacle” of its in-house coachbuilding capabilities, making it the most expensive car to go on sale. Rolls-Royce Drop Tail: Exterior Design While Rolls-Royce usually makes their coach-built specials on the Architecture of Luxury platform, the Drop Tail uses a bespoke chassis made from steel, aluminium and carbon fibre. It has a brand-new silhouette with its low coupe-like roofline inspired by ‘chop top’ hot rods. In profile, it looks sportier than any other Rolls-Royce with its flared wheel arches and carbon-fibre rear diffuser. The removable roof panel is made from carbon fibre as well, making it easier to remove it. The panel itself gets a large electrochromic glass section that can tint and untint at the press of a button. The front end of the Drop Tail is the most familiar with its extra large grille and rectangular headlights. However, this is the first Rolls-Royce ever to get a swooped-back grille instead of a right-angled one. The marque says it reflects the car’s informal spirit. Meanwhile, Rolls-Royce said that the swooping rear end did not make enough downforce. Instead of mounting a spoiler, the brand tweaked the rear deck’s design to produce the required downforce without an ungainly spoiler. This process itself took 20 iterations and 2 years of development time.

The cabin follows a minimalist approach with only three buttons visible while the others are hidden away. The powered centre console can also be moved to hide the infotainment control dial. The interior uses two shades of red, ‘True Love Red’ paint and a darker shade dubbed ‘Mystery’. An expansive wooden panel surrounds the seats, intended to reinforce the “romantic” atmosphere. The piece was built by a single craftsman who is said to have worked on the panel for over 9 months. Coachbuild design boss Alex Zines said it was the “most complicated, involved and prohibitive work of craft ever produced”. The panel represents falling rose petals and is made from Black Sycamore. Rolls-Royce Drop Tail: Powertrain Details Powering the Drop Tail is a 6.75-litre V12 twin-turbo petrol motor that has tuned to make 601 bhp with 840 Nm of peak torque. It is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Rolls-Royce has stated that a V12 was used over an electric powertrain because the brand is celebrating the roadster and "the V12 is a powertrain we will be celebrating for the next couple of years”. Rolls-Royce Drop Tail: Price The automaker does not give specific pricing for its coach-built specials. However, all four Drop Tails cost more than the Boat Tail, which was priced at around £ 20 million or Rs 211 crore. It is already sold out. Read Also: Mahindra XUV700 and XUV400 Recalled In India
