Rolls-Royce has been synonymous with automotive excellence since 1904, when Charles Rolls and Henry Royce set out to build "the best car in the world." Royce, an exceptional engineer, first demonstrated his craftsmanship in industrial machinery before turning his talents to luxury automobiles. Their pursuit of perfection resulted in some of the most refined and prestigious vehicles ever created.
Their engineering expertise extended beyond automobiles during the First World War, when Rolls-Royce ventured into aero-engine manufacturing—an endeavour that solidified its reputation as an industry leader in precision engineering.
In response to post-World War I market challenges, Rolls-Royce ended its one-model policy and introduced the 1922 Rolls-Royce Twenty, a smaller and more accessible model designed to attract a wider clientele. This pivotal shift demonstrated the company's ability to evolve while maintaining its unwavering commitment to luxury and performance.
During the Great Depression in 1931, Rolls-Royce acquired Bentley. This strategic move merged two prestigious brands, blending Rolls-Royce's hallmark refinement with Bentley’s sporting heritage. Until 2002, the two marques shared technology and platforms, yet each retained its unique identity.
The brand’s global recognition remains unparalleled. A 1987 marketing survey ranked Rolls-Royce as the second most widely recognized brand worldwide, just behind Coca-Cola—a testament to its enduring legacy and prestige.
