THE UNTOLD TRUTH: DECODING ROLLS-ROYCE CAR PRICES | REVEALING DOCUMENTARY

here the Excellence in material such as wood metal and leather is absolutely authentic with no cheap compromises or cost cutting in the production of each piece the standards are so high that hundreds of kilograms of defective Parts need to be sent for touch-ups a separate production area is reserved exclusively for crafting the wooden panels in a small room laminated wood from different parts of the world arrives while skilled Craftsmen manually cut out the instrument panels in an adjoining Workshop the leather is prepared huge rolls of multi-colored leather are carefully stacked in a special cabinet while modern mass production Brands seek to minimize the number of people working on the production line relying mostly on robots Rolls-Royce does exactly the opposite here manual labor is considered sacred and only two simple robots are used specifically in the paint shop on May 1st 1904 the British Charles rolls and Henry Royce founded the Rolls-Royce company and in 1906 presented the first car of the brand over the next 50 years Rolls-Royce built an image of an exclusive British car driven by businessmen celebrities and even members of the Royal Family however the long-term success was shaken in 1998 when the company was acquired by the BMW group but they managed to regain their former glory and now Rolls-Royce is one of the most expensive cars in the world whose acquisition demonstrates status and social standing the price of the base model like the Rolls-Royce Phantom starts at three hundred thousand dollars but why are people willing to pay so much money for a common car the answer lies in the fact that for this price the manufacturer offers the highest quality and a wide range of custom options at Rolls-Royce both the wood metal leather and even diamonds are authentic with no cheap compromises or desires to save money for example in the manufacturing of the wood panel finish 16 layers of laminates are applied to a cast aluminum mold followed by five layers of varnish each hand polished the wood grain pattern is manually selected to ensure harmony with the rest of the pieces the same applies to leather assembling a single interior piece takes an average of four hours an 8 to 11 ball hides are needed for each car before becoming decorative elements for the interior of the Phantom or the ghost each piece of leather goes through a meticulous checking process for damages insect bites scratches and scars but the most interesting part is when the customer expresses interest in the color they want for their future car the owner can choose from 44 000 Shades and 12 layers of paint will be applied to their vehicle with mandatory polishing after each layer it is possible to order a limousine in Rich colors such as Desert Gold which requires the addition of gold to the paint at a cost of thirty thousand dollars for each coating layer one lady wanted to paint her Ghost with the color of her favorite lipstick while another wanted her new Phantom to match the color of her favorite Spaniel dog Engineers had to collect a sample of the fur and recreate the color first on a computer and then in the paint shop every seven customers one of them orders a car with two colors with surprising combinations of shades a Chinese customer who studied in Edinburgh ordered a phantom with a checkered pattern similar to a Scottish kilt as mentioned before while other modern car brands strive to have the fewest number of people in their factories and automate the entire process Rolls-Royce takes the opposite path manual labor is considered sacred and everything is done by hand even the platform trolleys are rolled by the factory workers themselves between the stations only in the most time-consuming operations such as installing a massive front panel assembly or the body attachment face to the chassis are mechanized manipulators used it takes about 450 hours to assemble each Rolls-Royce the final inspection computer points out errors and defects that are by no means allowed the same happens in the work of the Craftsmen however is responsible for an error is exposed on a kind of Honor board for a few weeks although this rarely happens all the automakers employees are high-level professionals and truly love their work here is Mark Court one of the most famous figures in rolls-royce's modern history he is solely responsible for pinstriping drawing a fine line with a brush that runs all over the car's body Mark has no breaks or assistance the lines on all rolls royces are made by him by hand Court performs this work in addition to traveling on business trips and restoring lines on old cars he also restores pinstriping in cases of accidents overall Rolls-Royce offers dozens of colors that can be combined as well as a wide variety of seat upholstery panel designs ceiling and much more at the factory there is also a special division called bispo a team of designers who meet with customers to discuss interior and exterior design options in a Rolls-Royce Anything is Possible one model was equipped with a set of Wedgewood porcelain for picnics another has a wine cellar while another was made for a famous sumo wrestler in Japan with an immense armchair in the back there are rolls royces equipped with gold cigarette cases and ashtrays front panels with pearl details and even devices from a Boeing aircraft cabin Ally among the most famous Rolls-Royce owners are David Becker who drives a Rolls-Royce Phantom with a Louis Vuitton designed leather interior and the energetic Eminem Who decided to turn the automotive world upside down how did he do it he cut the roof of his Rolls-Royce Phantom and turned it into a convertible but the best Rolls-Royce customer is the Sultan of Brunei

leaving the assembly line at the factory just imagine Sultan Arsenal bulkier owned a collection of 9000 extremely expensive cars besides being Sultan he is also the Prime Minister defense minister
