Rolls-Royce

One of the world’s most wanted cars, the outstanding quality car Rolls Royce. ‘The loudest noise in the new Rolls Royce comes from the electric clock’ was one of the well known slogans to promote the automobile. Rolls Royce still has one of the most prestigious car factories in the world, although the ownership belongs to BMW. Sports cars like Ferrari and Lamborghini are even more wanted nowadays (if you can afford them), but Rolls Royce or Bentley still have their own status. Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Elton John and Tom Jones had a copy of the famous Silver Shadow or Silver Cloud and the car was used in many motion pictures in the 1960’s and 1970’s. The movie ‘The Yellow Rolls Royce’ was one of the best known. The car is quite popular in the Rap and Hip Hop scenes too.
