Rolls-Royce

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is a British company, which is a part of the BMW AG concern. It specializes in the production of expensive and prestigious luxury cars. The Rolls-Royce Phantom model is the company's flagship. The founders of the company are engineer Frederick Henry Royce and merchant Charles Stuart Rolls, who created their own company in 1904. In 1906, the light 4-cylinder Rolls-Royce 20 PS model took first place in the Tourist Trophy car race. In the XX century, the company finally established its image as a prestigious brand. It became the main supplier of cars for the British royal house. In the middle of the XX century, the company's affairs began to decline, and in 1971, the company's management announced the company's bankruptcy. 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.
