Rolls Royce Motor Cars are what most people would know as Rolls Royce, the maker of what they claim as "the best luxury car in the world". Rolls Royce was separated from Rolls Royce Limited (maker of aerospace engines etc) in 1973 and since then have undergone a few ownership changes before ultimately ending up under the control of BMW as of 1 January 2003. Based in Goodwood, UK Rolls Royce currently hand build two cars, the Phantom and the Ghost. The Phantom comes in the traditional 4 door saloon, as well as a 2 door coupe version and finally a drophead convertible. The Ghost is a newer saloon sourcing fewer parts from BMW, and on a smaller scale, it is designed to appeal to a price point lower than the traditional Rolls price and entice a new market to the Rolls Royce brand. The Ghost was named in honour of the 1906 Silver Ghost.
