:For the present day companies see Rolls-Royce plc (Aero Engines etc) and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. For other uses, see Rolls-Royce (disambiguation).Rolls-Royce Limited was a renowned British car and, from 1914 on, aero-engine manufacturing company founded by Charles Stewart Rolls and Henry Royce on 15 March 1906 as the result of a partnership formed in 1904.

In 1971, Rolls-Royce was crippled by the costs of developing the advanced RB211 jet engine, resulting in the nationalisation of the company as Rolls-Royce (1971) Limited. In 1973, the car division was separated from the parent company as Rolls-Royce Motors. Rolls-Royce (1971) Limited continued as a nationalised company until it was privatised in 1987 as Rolls-Royce plc.

â©â©â©â©â©â© All the info on this video can be found here â©â©â©â©â©â© A really luxurious car! Two-tone Rolls Royce phantom. Black and grey. I also think it's some sort of special edition, the back lights are kind of blacked-out or something. I'm not sure though, might just be a simple Phantom! :) ********************************************************* [â] Facebook: www.facebook.com [â] Visit my website: alexsmolik.com [â] FlickR: www.flickr.com [â] Twitter: twitter.com ********************************************************* Enjoy! - ALEX

â©â©â©â©â©â© All the info on this video can be found here â©â©â©â©â©â© This is a beautiful red & black Bugatti Veyron from Bahrain I spotted in Cannes in July 2010. It has a very special plate number (1111 - royal family special plates). It was accompanied by a white Rolls Royce Ghost, that you can also see in the video. Sadly I never got to see it moving, it stayed parked in front of the hotel all day long and most of the night. Considering I had to leave Cannes at 23h40 at the latest to catch my train, I didn't see all the "late night" action... :( ********************************************************* [â] Facebook: www.facebook.com [â] Visit my website: alexsmolik.com [â] FlickR: www.flickr.com [â] Twitter: twitter.com ********************************************************* Enjoy! - ALEX

A far cry from the previous "golden robe" Ghost, Mansory has unveiled a new, more subtle, styling and performance package for the Rolls-Royce Ghost. Dubbed the White Ghost Limited, the package features a revised front bumper, restyled side skirts, front fender vents, a modified rear apron, a trunk-mounted spoiler, additional LED daytime running lights, and 22-inch wheels with Dunlop SP SportMaxx tires. Inside, the cabin is outfitted with leather / Alcantara upholstery, a sports steering wheel, bamboo wood trim, and LED ambient lighting. Under the hood, Mansory adds a revised ECU and a high performance exhaust system. These modifications enable the twin-turbo 6.6-liter V12 to produce 638 PS (469 kW / 629 hp) and 860 Nm (634 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 68 PS (50 kW / 67 hp) and 80 Nm (59 lb-ft). This allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, before topping out at 290 km/h (180 mph). The package will be priced from â¬119800 ($152465) and production will be limited to three units.

â©â©â©â©â©â© All the info on this video can be found here â©â©â©â©â©â© This is a nice video of a 560 horse-power matte black Lamborghini LP 560-4 spyder in Monaco. You can see the bull starting-up and hear the V10 getting ready, then leaving for more adventures... I couldn't really do a walk-around because some Gucci-dressed tall girl wanted ME to take pictures of HER in front of the car! Hehehe :) Oh, and also a nice little white Rolls Royce Ghost! And yeah, I'm not a big fan of spyders, whatever the car. So I wouldn't pick one if I could... ********************************************************* [â] Facebook: www.facebook.com [â] Visit my website: alexsmolik.com [â] FlickR: www.flickr.com [â] Twitter: twitter.com ********************************************************* Enjoy! - ALEX
