The Many Reasons to Love Rolls-Royce This Valentine’s Day

February 03, 2016

The spark of passion burns its brightest on this day that celebrates love. Valentine’s Day 2016 affords a unique opportunity to ponder the many reasons for loving the world’s most exclusive and pre-eminent luxury automotive marque.

This Valentine’s Day, Fall in Love with Rolls-Royce

Those of us proudly affiliated with your premier Rolls-Royce dealership in Palm Beach, Braman Rolls- Royce Motor Cars Palm Beach, have come to appreciate deeply why Rolls-Royce continues to exemplify the apex of automotive art, design, and engineering. To be honest, we are unabashedly passionate about Rolls-Royce motor cars and why shouldn’t we be? After all, they are quite simple the finest luxury automobiles ever crafted in the history of the world.

Speaking of history, why don’t we briefly turn back the pages of time for a moment and learn a little bit more about how this remarkable super-luxury automotive company came into being? It’s a story we love to tell.

The vision of Sir Henry Royce (photographed above, right) in 1904 was crystal clear: build “the best motor car in the world regardless of cost.” That singular goal has been at the very heart of the Rolls-Royce marque for more than 100 years. Royce was an automotive engineer by trade, and when he partnered with the Honorable Charles Stewart Rolls (photographed above, left), an aviation pioneer, motoring enthusiast, and owner of one of the UK’s first motor car dealerships, the Rolls-Royce was born.

Rolls-Royce: Through the Years

In 1907, the company produced the legendary Silver Ghost. In 1913, Silver Ghost conquered the grueling Alpine Trial, with critics calling it “The Best Car in the World.” In the 1930s, the company debuted the astonishing Phantom III, the first Rolls-Royce to be built with a V12 engine.

Established as the manufacturer of the world’s finest motor cars, Rolls-Royce continued to prosper throughout the 1930s and 1940s. In the 1950s, Roll-Royce began a longstanding relationship with the royal family. And in the “Swinging Sixties,” Rolls-Royce motor cars became the super-luxury vehicles of choice for an array of celebrities, artists, actors, and rock stars. Rolls-Royce even played a starring role in the movie, “The Yellow Rolls-Royce” (photographed above). And John Lennon famously purchased a Phantom V, painting it a kaleidoscope of colors, making it one of the most valuable pieces of pop memorabilia in history.

The 1970s saw Rolls-Royce re-launched into two separate companies. This decade also saw the introduction of the stylish, two-door Corniche (photographed above) and the Camargue. In the 1980s, British defense company Vickers purchased Rolls-Royce Motors Limited. The new Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Limited saw production of Rolls-Royce motor cars alongside Bentley motor cars.

The decade of the 1990s saw the storied Rolls-Royce name changes hands once again with its purchase boy the BMW Group. This ownership change ushered in a new era for Rolls-Royce with a brand-new manufacturing facility at Goodwood, The Home of Rolls-Royce. Located in West Sussex, Goodwood is a state-of-the-art facility that captures the essence of Sir Henry Royce’s admonition to “strive for perfection in everything you do.”

Fast-forward to present day. Over the course of its illustrious 100-year history, Rolls-Royce continues to hand-craft the world’s finest super-luxury motor cars for discriminating clientele around the globe. The Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament and the iconic Rolls-Royce emblem have come to signify that which is splendidly transcendent, yet remarkably attainable: Perfection.

Now that we have set the stage, let us further enumerate some of the many reasons to fall in love with Rolls-Royce this Valentine’s Day, or on any other day for that matter.

True Love, in the Form of a Rolls-Royce

Michelangelo had the Sistine Chapel. Leonardo da Vinci had the Mona Lisa. Both are timeless masterpieces. Unique. Ageless. So it is with your personal expression of your own individual and unique Rolls-Royce Motor Car. Bespoke Service affords you the opportunity to create a Rolls-Royce that embodies your personal vision. Have a paint color developed especially for you. Personalize subtle features or select choice wood veneers to use from your estate. Whatever inspires you, we can make it possible. Your new Bespoke Rolls-Royce is your own personal canvas of creative expression. Like you, it is one-of-a-kind.

You’ll Love the Power

Another reason to love Rolls-Royce during this loving season is power. Pure. Unadulterated. Power. Let us examine the incomparable 2016 Rolls-Royce Wraith. Built to challenge perceptions and re-write record books, the Wraith is not so much as super-luxury motor car as it is an overwhelming force of nature.

The fastest and most dramatic Rolls-Royce to date, the Wraith’s powerful silhouette with its distinctive fastback roofline hints at the awesome might of its prodigious 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine that rockets you from zero to 60 mph in a scant 4.4 seconds with serene aplomb. Effortless. Boundless. And yet totally composed, with a demeanor so refined that the suspension detects even the slightest movement and compensates for it.

You’ll Love the Elegant Simplicity

We also love the effortless simplicity of the magnificent Rolls-Royce Ghost. Forging a graceful arc that shatters both convention and one’s expectations, the 2016 Rolls-Royce Ghost at Braman Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is an expression of timeless elegance and purity of design. Hand-crafted by more than 60 of the world’s finest coachbuilders and engineers, the Ghost sets new benchmarks for purposeful performance. The Ghost’s fluid lines are orchestrated in symphony of exquisite harmony, creating a dynamic new dimension of automotive art that awaits your command. The Ghost’s 563 horsepower, 6.6-liter V12 engine delivers a stunning 575 lb.-ft. of torque through a ZF, 8-speed automatic transmission. The result is an impressive 0-60 mph in just 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph.

You’ll also love the extraordinary technology that makes driving a Rolls-Royce an effortless pleasure. Regardless of which bespoke Rolls-Royce you choose, you know that it comes with a suite of technological features so advanced and forward-thinking they make driving a Rolls-Royce a totally intuitive experience. The Heads Up Display on the Ghost, for example, projects key driving information on the inside of the windshield like a modern fighter aircraft without having to take your eyes off the road or your hands off the wheel. The Spirit of Ecstasy rotary controller puts instantaneous control of the internet, navigation, your music library, and communication at your fingertips. Speak swipe, or twist at your command. Additionally, an infrared camera can detect body heat up to 300 meters away, alerting you to any potential obstacles in your path.

You’ll Love the All-New Dawn

Perhaps the newest and most exciting reason to love Rolls-Royce this Valentine’s Day is by introducing you to the extraordinary new Dawn. Just as the world is drawn to the sunlight and one’s romantic mood captured by starlight, so does the Dawn’s sensual appeal beckon. With one touch, Dawn opens you up to a world of new possibilities where you seize the moment on the breath of the wind and experience the wondrous freedom that only a Rolls-Royce convertible can create. Unmistakably a Rolls-Royce, the Dawn’s striking, assertive, and charming countenance combines classic design principles with the latest technology. A powerful front end and sweeping shoulder lines are perfectly proportioned. With the artful poise of a prima ballerina and the wide stance of a superbly toned athlete, Dawn offers an open-top driving experience without parallel.
