Rolls-Royce Motor Cars

Consumer Discretionary

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited is a British luxury automobile maker that has been a wholly owned subsidiary of the German group BMW since 2003, and it is the exclusive manufacturer of Rolls-Royce-badged motor cars. It was created as a BMW subsidiary in 1998, after BMW licensed the rights to the Rolls-Royce name and logo from Rolls-Royce Holdings plc and acquired the Spirit of Ecstasy and grille shape trademarks from Volkswagen, and it has been building cars under the name since 2003. Its administrative and production headquarters are at the 42-acre Goodwood plant in West Sussex, England. The current range includes the Phantom, the Ghost, the Cullinan SUV and the Spectre, the marque's first electric car. The company has no direct relationship to earlier cars sold under the Rolls-Royce name between 1906 and 2003; the Bentley business owned by Volkswagen is the direct successor to those.
