Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Company Description

The Spirit of Ecstasy is neither a ghost nor a phantom; it is the iconic mascot of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. The company is known for its luxurious design, engineering, and price, and especially for its iconic female grill ornament -- the Spirit of Ecstasy. Its model line-up leads with the Phantom, the Phantom Coupé, Phantom Extended Wheelbase, the 101EX, and Phantom Drophead. The new Rolls-Royce Ghost will begin production in late 2009. The company makes about 1,000 hand-crafted cars a year at an ecstatic cost of ₤300,000, give or take a shilling or two. In 2003 BMW bought control of the name and the manufacturing of Rolls-Royce cars from Volkswagen AG. The company has been in operation since 1911.
